VectorCAST automates the unit, integration and system testing of C, C++ and Ada applications. For safety critical industries like avionics, medical devices, automotive, industrial control and railways, rigorous testing is more than just good software development practice: it is a critical part of the software certification process.

Traditionally, embedded software testing has been a tedious and labor intensive process. With VectorCAST, embedded software testing can be automated and therefore rolled into the repeatable software practices that our customers strive for. The immediate benefit is that VectorCAST automatically generates the throw-away code necessary for good unit and integration testing, thereby freeing engineers to pursue higher-value tasks. Any level of code coverage metrics may also be automatically generated during each testing phase of the project, all in a single test run.

The longer term benefit is a completely automated regression testing platform; considerable time and money is saved as the code may be saved for later reuse and modification.
