Joint Webinar of Samsung and Verifysoft: "Make Unit Testing and Code Coverage part of your Continuous Integration Flow"

Code coverage is a promising measure of test effectiveness and more and more Software R&D organizations are interested in cost-effective levels of coverage that provide sufficient fault removal with contained testing effort.
While there's no silver bullet in code coverage, the findings from various organizations reveal that increasing code coverage decreases field related defects and increases a high level of confidence in the quality of the code that is being deployed. Find out why many of these organizations from various industry verticals have set up a Continuous Integration/Continuous Development pipeline using an industry leading commercial code coverage solution Testwell CTC++ as a crucial metric for test effectiveness.
Dedicated to Software Quality, Testwell CTC++ fits into current DevOps tool chains driving more value in the Continuous Integration environment. Join Sasikumar Sathasivam, Group Head, Samsung Research Institute Bangalore, on 29 January 2019 at 9:30 h German/French time / 2:00 PM Indian Standard Time for our live webinar "Make unit testing and code coverage part of your continuous integration flow", as he talks about how the world’s largest consumer electronics giant uses code coverage as measure of quality to test the mobile devices and mobile applications used by billions of people worldwide.

This webinar will cover:
Need for Code Coverage as part of your Continuous Integration (CI) Pipeline
How Code Coverage was deployed in one of the most challenging build/development environments
Metrics Management: Code Coverage as tool for giving management visibility into the quality of code being delivered
ROI benefits of Code Coverage

"One License which Covers All" Policy / Price Adjustment for Testwell Maintenances

(Offenburg/Germany, 1 February 2018)

The software maintenance for Testwell tools covers technical support, software upgrades/updates and replacement of the licenses in case of server changes (only applicable for perpetual floating licenses).
For most of the markets handled by distributors the yearly maintenance cost was already 20% and will remain at this price. Some markets handled by distributors and the markets handled directly by Verifysoft have had still an extremely low maintenance rate of 15% in the past.
In addition to the core of Testwell CTC++, we offer a broad variety of integrations, configurations and converters. We had discussions whether our customers should pay for the different adaptations and add-ons. Finally we decided to keep our "One license which covers all" policy. This means that also in future no extra license is needed for these extra tools, adaptations and add-ons (for more details please check below). We are happy to maintain and to extend these kind of services to our customers in the future. But, in order to cover our development cost, we are obliged to adapt the maintenance fee from 15% to 18% starting in April 2018 for the markets which are not applicable to the 20% maintenance rate.

Here a partial list of integrations, configurations and converters covered by the Testwell CTC++ license without additional fees:
Testwell CTC++ Integration in IDEs include: Visual Studio, Eclipse, MPLabX, TI Code Composer Studio, Fujitsu: Softune, IAR Embedded Workbench.
Sample configurations for compilers & toolchains include: HI-TECH, Renesas (including former Hitachi and former Mitsubishi compilers), Cygwin toolchains, Tasking VX-toolsets, Metaware, Cosmic, Freescale/Metrowerks, Greenhills/GHS/Multi, Freescale/Motorola, Visual DSP++, Keil, ECJ (Java).
Miscellaneous: Converter to Cobertura XML report (v1.0.2), Plugin for SonarQube (v4.5), Plugin for Imagix 4D: Visualization of code coverage and call pair report, WinCE Add-on, Package for Linux Kernel 2.6, Package for JavaCard, Annotation add-on.
Ongoing Development: Viewer for JSON reports, Converter to native SonarQube format, and many more ...
