Portability:

tpfc, paf, wiki, brackets

  • No installation required / can be unzipped, extracted, or files copied from an installation
  • Runs self-contained / makes no changes to host computer outside of program folder
  • Saves main settings & extensions to program directory / not home directory, AppData, or the registry
  • No third-party dependencies / with some exceptions, like .NET, Visual C++, or admin rights where necessary
  • Stealth / no registry or filesystem items left on the host PC after program exit / optional but ideal

Testing for portability:

methods, mindmap, v2, processes, zsoft, pe-explorers
