Monrovia, CA (September 18, 2012) Booth 315 – Parasoft, the industry leader in Development Testing, announced today the release of the Parasoft Open Embedded Testing platform at DESIGN East Boston. Easy integration of open-source or 3^rd party tools into the ‘Open’ Embedded Testing platform gives embedded software engineers comprehensive control and process visibility throughout the embedded software development lifecycle.

Leveraging Parasoft’s Embedded Testing Platform, organizations can uniformly apply a comprehensive array of testing practices across the organization—yielding more consistent and more predictable project outcomes. Ad-hoc or inconsistent application of analysis tools or software engineering best practices could place industry or regulatory compliance audits at risk; this approach eliminates that risk.

“With the rapid convergence of hardware and software, organizations are faced with unprecedented complexity and increased business risk,” said Wayne Ariola, VP of Strategy for Parasoft. “Parasoft’s Embedded Testing Platform strives to eliminate these risks by exposing the business objective, defining policies that achieve the business objectives, and uniformly applying automated tools and proven best practices to enforce those policies. This approach closes the gap between business objectives and engineering while helping organizations achieve industry or regulatory compliance.”

Parasoft’s Embedded Testing platform is the industry’s most comprehensive, featuring a policy-driven process that integrates the following practices:

• Static analysis (in-line, pattern-based, flow-based, metrics)
• Unit testing (test generation, execution, optimization)
• Peer code review (preparation, notification, tracking)
• Coverage analysis (from the unit level to application level)
• Test on target, host, or simulator
• Environment Integration (IDE, source, compiler, parser, board, etc.)
• Runtime error detection (resource & memory leaks, race conditions, exceptions, etc.)
• Traceability (requirements, code, defects, code reviews, tests, etc.)

With the Embedded Testing platform, management has real-time visibility into the development process, which mitigates risks associated with software quality and security. The open platform also helps engineers align embedded software development activities with business objectives, allowing them to consistently produce high quality code.
