VectorCAST/C++ is a highly automated unit and integration test solution used by embedded developers to validate safety and business-critical embedded systems. This dynamic test solution is widely used in the avionics, medical device, automotive, industrial controls, railway, and financial industries.

VectorCAST/C++ parses your source code and invokes code generators to automatically create the test code (stubs and drivers) required to construct a complete, executable test harness. Once the test harness is constructed, VectorCAST/C++ can be used to build and execute test cases, show code covered, and report static measurements. Test data is maintained separately from the test harness, enabling easy automatic regression testing. Key features of VectorCAST for C and C++ unit and integration testing include:

Complete test-harness construction for C and C++ unit and integration testing – no writing of test code
Stub and driver code built automatically
Test execution from GUI or scripts
Code-coverage analysis with optimization for embedded systems
On-target and simulator test execution
Code-complexity analysis highlights high risk code
Automatic test case generation based on decision paths
Test execution playback to assist in debugging Integrated with leading static analysis tools
