For the first time, developers and testers will have the ability to conduct highly accurate and comprehensive software performance testing, memory testing, RTOS and source code level execution trace, and code coverage on applications based on an embedded Linux platform.
“Developers worldwide using MontaVista Linux have been asking for tools just like CodeTEST,” explains Kevin Morgan, vice president of engineering at MontaVista Software. “CodeTEST allows for hardware tracing of kernel and driver code, allowing you to get profile reports, code coverage analysis, and an excellent code browser that highlights which parts of your code have been executed.”
Embedded Linux users can use CodeTEST to improve the speed and efficiency of their applications, prevent crashes due to memory leaks and errors, analyze test effectiveness, and expedite mission-critical system certifications. CodeTEST ACT -? Applied?s Advanced Coverage Tool -? is now also available to embedded Linux developers for the first time, opening up new opportunities for developers in the avionics industry who need “Level A” coverage and who seek to expedite the FAA?s DO-178B tool qualification process.
“Industry studies report over 40 percent of all unplanned downtime in a product development/test cycle is a result of software failures and errors. CodeTEST helps development and test teams save their company valuable time and money by tackling the very causes of these software failures head on and quickly,” according to Applied?s General Manager Todd Greenwalt. “CodeTEST, for example, measures over 128,000 real-time function executions at once; pinpoints and calculates the impact of things like algorithmic errors, call-pair distribution and Interrupt Service Routines; conducts point-to-point measurements of the highest possible fidelity; assesses how much CPU functions/tasks consume; and produces user-friendly reports so you can easily identify and analyze issues straight away in your software.”
Pricing & Availability
Available immediately, CodeTEST for Embedded Linux is sold as a complete suite or as separate modules for performance, memory, trace, coverage and advanced coverage. For pricing details, contact info@amc.com.
