Vector Softwares VectorCAST™ is a world-class integrated software test solution that automates the tasks associated with testing software components for C/C++, Embedded C++, and Ada83/Ada95 programs. Automation includes: complete test harness construction (stubs and drivers), test generation, test execution, code coverage analysis, regression testing and static measures for code complexity, basis path analysis, and coding

standards enforcement. VectorCAST™ enables companies to significantly reduce the time, effort and cost to validate safety, mission, and business-critical systems.

“The integration of our VectorCAST™ product

with the ARM RVDS tool chain was the result of

a request from a major semiconductor company,” said Bill McCaffrey, Director of Marketing at Vector Software. “This integration of VectorCAST™ with the ARM RVDS for ARM7 and ARM9 further illustrates the importance that Vector places on delivering our state of the art testing solutions to the most popular development environments.”
