Product Overview

The VectorCAST family of products automates testing activities across the software development lifecycle. The purpose of this section is to provide a high-level view of what the VectorCAST products do, how they interwork, and how you might best use them to fully meet your own software testing needs.

• VectorCAST/C++  /   VectorCAST/Ada - These tools automate the process of testing source modules written in C/C++ or Ada. They automate both unit testing and integration testing.
• VectorCAST/RSP - The Runtime Support Package tool serves as an extension to VectorCAST/C++/Ada. It allows you to execute test cases for real-time applications in an embedded-target or simulator environment.
• VectorCAST/Cover - This tool performs code-coverage analysis during functional or system test. It can share coverage data with VectorCAST/C++/Ada.
• VectorCAST/Manage - This tool allows you to import previously developed VectorCAST/C++ and VectorCAST/Ada test environments into regression test suites, providing a single point-of-control for all unit and integration test activities.
• VectorCAST/Requirements Gateway - This feature permits the flow of data between a requirements management tool and the VectorCAST testing tool. Through a simple and intuitive interface, developers can quickly link requirements to VectorCAST test cases. After test execution, the status can be returned to the requirements management tool.
• VectorCAST for DO-178B - The Requirements and Technical Concepts for Aviation (RTCA) Document Number RTCA/DO-178B specifies that qualification of a software tool is necessary when processes of the DO-178B document are eliminated, reduced, or automated by the use of a software tool without its output being verified. VectorCAST addresses the automation of the software verification process as defined by DO-178B.
