Description
Develop and test your system using Simulink prior to implementing it on actual hardware. This allows you to explore and apply innovative designs that might typically be overlooked, all without the need to engage in C, C++, or HDL programming. By modeling both the system you are testing and the physical plant, you can investigate a broader design landscape. Your entire team can benefit from a unified multi-domain platform that simulates the interactions of all system components. You can also package and share your simulation results with team members, suppliers, and clients for collaborative feedback. This approach helps minimize costly prototypes by allowing you to experiment with scenarios that might otherwise be deemed too risky or impractical. Use hardware-in-the-loop testing and rapid prototyping to confirm your design's effectiveness. With this method, you can ensure traceability throughout the process, from requirements gathering to design and code development. Rather than manually crafting thousands of lines of code, you can automatically generate high-quality C and HDL code that mirrors your original Simulink model. Finally, deploy this code directly onto your embedded processor or FPGA/ASIC for seamless integration and operation. This comprehensive approach not only streamlines development but also enhances overall project efficiency.
Description
VectorCAST is an extensive test-automation framework aimed at optimizing unit, integration, and system testing throughout the embedded software development process. It facilitates the automation of test case creation and execution for applications written in C, C++, and Ada, while also accommodating host, target, and continuous integration environments. Additionally, VectorCAST provides structural code coverage metrics, which are essential for ensuring the validation of safety-critical and mission-critical systems. The tool seamlessly integrates with simulation processes such as software-in-the-loop and processor-in-the-loop, and it works with model-based engineering tools like Simulink/Embedded Coder. It also supports advanced white-box testing techniques, including dynamic instrumentation, fault injection, and the generation of test harnesses, effectively combining static analysis results—like those from Polyspace—with dynamic coverage to ensure comprehensive lifecycle verification. Among its significant features are the ability to correlate requirements with tests and the management and reporting of coverage across different configurations, ultimately enhancing the testing process. Overall, VectorCAST empowers organizations to achieve more reliable and efficient testing in their software development endeavors.
