Product Overview

C++test from Parasoft Embedded is an integrated toolkit for C and C++ development and test that supports a broad range of best practices proven to improve software development team productivity and software quality. C++test automates C and C++ static analysis, peer code review, and unit and component testing on host and target with comprehensive code coverage supporting multiple levels of DO-178B. Included in static analysis is built-in support of MISRA, MISRA 2004, MISRAC++ 2008, and JSF coding standard guidelines, as well as implementations of popular best practices such as Effective C++. C++test is available as a plugin to leading Embedded IDEs, such as Eclipse, Microsoft Visual Studio, Wind River Workbench, Texas Instruments Code Composer Studio 4.x, and ARM Real View Development Studio (RVDS), as well as with a standalone GUI, and in batch processes via command line interface.

For embedded and cross-platform development, C++test can be used in both host-based and target-based code analysis and test flows.

C++test is packaged and licensed in the following editions designed to separate functionality to specific roles and processes in the typical software development environment:

• C++test Professional Edition
• C++test Architect Edition
• C++test Server Edition

Edition details are described in C++test Editions and Licenses.

Benefits

• Increase team development productivity - Apply a comprehensive set of best practices that reduce testing time, testing effort, and the number of defects that reach QA.
• Achieve more with existing development resources - Automatically vet known coding issues so more time can be dedicated to tasks that require human intelligence.
• Build on the code base with confidence - Efficiently construct, continuously execute, and maintain a comprehensive regression test suite that detects whether updates break existing functionality.
• Gain instant visibility into C and C++ code quality and readiness - Access on-demand objective code assessments and track progress towards quality and schedule targets.
• Reduce support costs - Automate negative testing on a broad range of potential user paths to uncover problems that might otherwise surface only in "real-world" usage.
