“Testwell CTC++ gives us what we need while keeping the process simple”: New Testwell CTC++ customer testimonial from medical industry (ISD, Sri Lanka)

(Offenburg/Germany, Colombo/Sri Lanka, 11 April 2017)

Testwell CTC++ gives us what we need while keeping the process simple” says Harin de Silva, Technical Manager at ISD, who has given us an insight into the software testing demands for medical solutions and explained why they are using Testwell CTC++ for measuring code coverage.
In the following Customer Testimonial Mr. Harin de Silva talks about advantages of Testwell CTC++: “We chose Testwell CTC++ in order to aid us in the unit tests and verification. (...) One of the biggest challenges that we had was the limited memory in our systems. Testwell CTC++ required a very small footprint for its instrumentation and the Host target add-on makes integrations to any system easy. The important point here is that we don’t have any restrictions with compilers, IDEs or debug tools. We are able to use Testwell CTC++ without changing our development process drastically…”

Testwell CTC++ Customer Testimonial from Lely

“Guaranteeing proper software behavior is a challenge”: New Testwell CTC++ customer testimonial (Lely, Netherlands)

(Offenburg/Germany, Maassluis/The Netherlands, 27 October 2016)

“Our reputation is built on products which work properly” says Kees Valkhof, Lely’s Configuration Manager, who has given us an insight into the software testing demands for agricultural solutions and explained why they are using Testwell CTC++ for measuring code coverage.
In the following Customer Testimonial and Video Mr. Valkhof talks about advantages of Testwell CTC++: “At Lely we want to be able to measure the coverage of our unit tests as well as of the tests performed on the target. We have some dedicated embedded boards that require an embedded cross-compiler. As we have more than one of these compilers, we need a generic tooling, which is not bound to a specific tool set and or IDE. This is the reason why we have chosen Testwell CTC++. This tool meets all of the above requirements…”

Verifysoft announces Testwell CTC++ interface with MATLAB Simulink

(Offenburg, 12 April 2016)

Verifysoft announces an interface of Testwell CTC++ Test Coverage Analyser with MATLAB Simulink.
This interface, which is currently still under development, will be validated by selected customers based on their business requirements. Testwell CTC++ is a leading code coverage tool which supports all compilers and all embedded targets. The tool analyses all coverage levels up to MC/DC-Coverage and Multicondition Coverage. It can be used for analysing software written in C, C++, Java and C#. The coverage analyser can be used together with any unit testing tools.
Testwell CTC++ is integrated in many tool chains, testing environments, and software quality tools like dSPACE SystemDesk, dSPACE TargetLink, Imagix 4D, SonarQube, CATIA Systems AUTOSAR Builder (DASSAULT SYSTEMES), PikeTec Time Partition Testing (TPT), QTronic TestWeaver, and many others.
Testwell CTC++ is also integrated in many IDEs. Adding a new IDE or tool chain to the integration/interface list of Testwell CTC++ is very easy. The main prerequisite being that the IDE can be customized (menus, processes...).
Simulink from The Mathworks is an industry standard tool which is highly tuneable. Thanks to the simple but efficient script-based technology of Testwell CTC++, no specific features or ´patches´ have been needed for the interfacing. Adaptations of Testwell CTC++ to other tools need often only documented parameters.
Our video Testwell CTC++ (Verifysoft) and MATLAB /Simulink provides a complete Proof Of Concept demo on how to collect coverage data with Testwell CTC++ in MATLAB Simulink tool from The Mathworks.

Testwell CTC++ Test Coverage Analyser: Version 7.2 Available

(Offenburg/Germany, Tampere/Finland, 18 March 2014)

Verifysoft and Testwell announce the availability of Testwell CTC++ version 7.2. Testwell CTC++ is the leading Test Coverage Analyser for host and on-target code coverage.
The new version introduces a test case concept and the ctcxmlmerge tool.
The test case concept facilitates collecting coverage data and reporting it per user-defined test cases.
The ctcxmlmerge tool facilitates getting one combined coverage report over whole code base, which has been built and tested for different configurations. Previously, due to configuration-specific conditional compilation and macro values in the code files, CTC++ could see such files to be different, and supported coverage reporting only per one configuration at a time.
Additionally there are some bug fixes and enhancements to handle various demanding or "extreme corner" usage situations that have come up with the users. Along with this basic CTC++ v7.2 the CTC++ Host-Target add-on (HOTA) which allows for on-target test coverage has been upgraded from v5.0 to v5.1.

Testwell CTC++ Host Run-Time add-on (CTCHRT) v2.0 available

(Tampere/Finland, 10 November 2011)

Testwell announces the availability of a new version of "CTC++ Host Run-Time add-on" for Testwell CTC++.
CTCHRT is a new innovation for measuring code coverage at target machines. In it the instrumented program at the target writes onthe fly the coverage data to the host, where it is collected to afile (probefile). Later, at the host, a CTCHRT utility is run to read the probe file and to map the execution data to the instrumentedsource files and to create (or to sum up) the datafile, which contains the execution data in the normal CTC++ tool chain form. Thereafter the coverage and timing reports are obtained normally with the ctcpost and ctc2html utilities.
CTCHRT v2.0 is primarily an upgrade of this add-on component to the basic CTC++ v7.0 level. Also some enhancements in the tool. Linux support added (CTCHRT host side).
Further information is available from Testwell website.

Verifysoft announces the release of CTC++ add-on for Borland C++ 5.0.2 IDE

(19 February 2004)

Verifysoft announces the release of the "Borland C++ 5.0.2 IDE"add-on which seamlessly integrates Testwell CTC++ (Test CoverageAnalyzer for C/C++) into the Borland C++ IDE.
This allows Borland C++ developers to measure code coverage with CTC++ within that integrated environment.
Testwell CTC++ is a powerful code coverage and dynamic analysis tool for C and C++. Whereas CTC++ already supports all actual Borland C++ versions using the makefile mechanism, the "Borland C++ 5.02 IDE" add-on facilitates every Borland C++ developer to measure code coverage in an intuitive and easy to use way directly from the Borland C++ IDE.
Compiling 16-bit code is supported but requires a separately available CTC++ Host-Target add-on.
Fully functional evaluation copies are available.
We wish to thank the Tools55 project for its work which provided the basis of our integration of CTC++ into the Borland C++ IDE.
