Vector Software

The initial release of VectorCAST/Coupling has been announced by Vector Software. It provides data and control coupling verification for C and C++ source files. Coupling verification is mandatory for safety-critical avionics software development according to both RTCA DO-178B and DO-178C.

New configuration-based testing capabilities for VectorCAST test automation tools were announced at Embedded World in Nuremberg. VectorCAST is designed to make testing easier and faster, and configuration-based test cases add the ability to efficiently test software that is intended to be run in multiple configurations. A common practice is to combine multiple software configurations into a single code module.
