Parasoft Embedded now delivers support for ARM Real View Development Studio (RVDS) to leverage productivity and significantly lower software defects.

Parasoft Embedded, leading provider of solutions and services that deliver quality as a continuous process throughout the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) for embedded and real time systems, since April 14, 2008 offers full support of ARM® RealView® Development Suite 3.1 (RVDS), a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for software development that supports all ARM processors and ARM debug technology.

Parasoft Embedded brings an innovative and integrated solution for C and C++ development that supports a broad range of best practices proven to deliver software quality as a continuous process. With Parasoft Embedded solution, development teams will reduce the time, effort, and cost of testing embedded and real-time system applications by enabling extensive testing on the host and streamlining validation on the target.

“The Parasoft C++test package provides a powerful set of quality tools that can now be used by ARM embedded developers,” said Andrew Beeson, ARM Product Manager - Compilation Tools. “With its support for ARM's high-performance compilers and easily customizable configurations, Parasoft C++test fits seamlessly into both the ARM RealView Development Suite 3.1 Eclipse-based environment as well as command-line build environments.”

The new fully-integrated Parasoft Embedded plug-in for ARM Real View Development Studio (RVDS) provides teams easy access to Parasoft Embedded’s full code analysis and unit testing capabilities while developing applications targeted for the latest ARM technology-based processors that power the mobile world. The complete target-based test execution flow, including test case generation, cross-compilation, deployment, execution, and loading results back into the GUI, can be automated via the direct interface with RVDS facilities and customized as needed. Tests can be debugged using the native RVDS debugger.
