Vector Software says that Lauterbach, a manufacturer of emulators and debuggers, now enables VectorCAST users who are working in development, test, quality, and certification teams to perform source-level test coverage with no instrumentation of object code. Thus, achieving test execution without impacting code size or performance.

ActiGraph, a global provider of activity monitoring solutions to the clinical research community, has selected Vector Software’s VectorCASTto automate testing activities across the company’s software development lifecycle.  ActiGraph's hardware and software solutions deliver accurate, measurable insight into the real-world physiological behaviours of subjects involved in a variety of research and clinical projects.

Several technical and user operation improvements have been made to the new Version 9.0 of the CANoe software tool from Vector. CANoe is used for the development, test and analysis of entire automotive ECU networks and individual automotive ECUs. It supports engineers worldwide throughout the entire ECU development process.

There’s no avoiding the fact that we live in a software driven world. Most companies are feeling the pressure to adapt from simply manufacturing physical products to building software controlled devices.

The latest release of VectorCAST/Ada is available from Vector Software. VectorCAST/Ada is a dynamic software test solution that automates Ada unit, integration, and system testing, necessary for validating safety-critical embedded systems. This newest release of VectorCAST/Adaincorporates many new features and enhancements. Stubbing of functions can now be dynamically controlled on a per-test-case basis in VectorCAST/Ada.

PREEvision 7.5, the latest version of the PREEvision software from Vector Informatik, is now available. It provide users with expanded AUTOSAR support and the ability to develop network communication for commercial vehicles according to SAE J1939.

Vector Software announced VectorCAST/Analytics. VectorCAST/Analytics provides an easy to understand web-based dashboard of software code quality and testing completeness metrics, enabling users to identify trends in a single codebase or compare metrics between multiple codebases. Software projects fall into two categories: maintenance of legacy applications and development of new applications. Each presents a unique challenge. Legacy applica...

A new software package enables development teams to automate all test activities, shorten test times, and generate real-time metrics on release readiness. The VectorCAST/QA from Vector Software integrates with an organisation’s existing build system and test infrastructure to collect key metrics such as code complexity, frequency of code changes, test case status, and code coverage information.

VectorCAST, version 6.4 – the most advanced test automation platform for C/C++ and Ada software development will be showcased at Embedded World in Nuremberg (Feb23-25). Vector Software’s VectorCAST 6.4 includes a host of new features and enhancements in data aggregation, reporting, usability, and tool integration.

Vector Software will showcase its latest release of VectorCAST, version 6.4 – the most advanced test automation platform for C/C++ and Ada software development. VectorCAST 6.4 includes a host of new features and enhancements in data aggregation, reporting, usability, and tool integration including:

Vector Software and Solid Sands have joined forces to integrate VectorCAST with SuperTest. This will reduce compiler revalidation time to the absolute minimum by only executing test cases which are impacted by compiler code changes. Reporting is in a standardised format, giving Project Management minimal disruption and an immediate shift back to on-time delivery.
