Vector Software Announces Integration of VectorCAST with Telelogic
Rhapsody
North Kingstown, RI – September 5, 2006 – Vector Software, a leading provider of
software test tools for embedded systems, today announced an integration of their
VectorCAST test system with the Rhapsody modeling tool from the Telelogic Systems and
Software Modeling Business Unit (SSMBU). The VectorCAST integration supports the
C/C++, and Ada development languages and allows unit and integration test execution from
the Rhapsody generated models.
Robust, Proven Software Now Possible with Integrated Model Driven Development
and Model Driven Testing Solutions
For real-time embedded software developers, especially those under regulatory constraints,
there have always been an extreme time and financial costs associated with effectively
testing real-time embedded software applications. Until now, developers were constantly
faced with the diametrically opposed requirements of releasing the product to market on time
versus releasing a robust high quality product. With these issues in mind, the Telelogic
Systems and Software Modeling Business Unit (SSMBU) and Vector Software announce a
new Model-Driven Development (MDD) environment that simplifies and shortens the
development cycle with an automated testing and verification method. The
Rhapsody/VectorCAST integration extends Model Driven Development to include Model
Driven Testing, offering a higher level of quality and productivity compared to manual
development and testing. The quality of the application is verified at the code level and as a
result, the solution provides automated unit / integration level code testing, and code
coverage analysis to ensure the highest levels of product quality.
With this integration, developers can use Rhapsody to design and generate their application,
then utilize VectorCAST to automatically generate the test harnesses (stubs and drivers),
define test cases, execute the generated tests, create reports, and perform dynamic code
coverage analysis
How it works

Integrated launch of the VectorCAST tool from the Rhapsody UML model

Automated Unit and Integration testing

Code coverage analysis

Automated Regression Testing

Reports are available as html or text for inclusion into project documentation
VectorCAST can be launched from the Rhapsody GUI
(Note: this graphic needs a stronger photo caption and we will need a separate 300 dpi Tiff
or Jpeg file so this can be released with optimal graphic resolution when this is sent live.
PC concept: The VectorCAST and Telelogic Rhapsody integration supports C/C++, and Ada
development languages, and allows unit and integration test execution from Rhapsody
generated models.
