Strategic Advantage - Automated Dynamic Testing Require Login Account

Unlike static analysis, dynamic testing requires the execution of source code. Executing source code during unit and integration testing requires the generation of test code to isolate the modules tested. This white paper discusses the mechanics of doing dynamic testing and how it can be applied to a typical waterfall approach or an agile / test driven development approach.

Using Code Coverage to Improve the Reliability of Embedded Software Require Login Account

Code coverage is a metric used to gauge the completeness of software testing, by identifying which areas of source code in an application were exercised during a test. It provides a convenient way to ensure that applications are not released with untested code. (download white paper)

   

Using User-Code in VectorCAST Require Login Account

While VectorCAST automates many tasks associated with unit and integration testing, including building complete stubs and driver code, test case generation, test execution, regression testing, and code coverage analysis, some of the tasks associated with building complex test scenarios are better handled outside of the GUI with user-generated source code. This white paper provides understanding of VectorCAST's user code capabilities, the reason why you would use it, and how to use it. (download white paper)
