Analysis and Testing

Axivion

Axivion develops static code analyses tools. With their help, even complex systems can quickly be examined, comprehended, and assessed. The benefits are, amongst others, a reduction of development and maintenance costs, a shortening of time to market and an improvement of code quality. Our analyses for Ada are based on and are compatible with the Asis interface of GNAT Pro.

IPL

AdaTEST is a tool which allows users to test Ada software thoroughly and efficiently. In addition to the facility to generate test drivers and programmable stubs, AdaTEST users can also measure test coverage and check static analysis metrics. The integration of AdaTEST into GNAT Pro means that users can invoke a range of AdaTEST facilities from within the GPS IDE.

Vector Software

VectorCAST/Ada for GNAT Pro is a test system that enables users to automate unit and integration testing, and code coverage for software applications developed with the GNAT Pro development tools. VectorCAST/Ada has been used on projects for over 10 years with all variants of GNAT Pro including Wind River’s Platforms for Safety Critical and the GNAT Pro High Integrity Edition up to Level A for DO-178B.

LDRA

The LDRA tool suite is deployed throughout the software development lifecycle for Code Review, Quality Review, Design Review, Unit Test and Test Verification. The integration of the LDRA tool suite with GNAT Pro helps embedded developers overcome the challenges of testing real-time Ada95/83 software in circumstances where applications are required to be reliable, rugged and as error free as possible. The LDRA tool suite also provides facilities to assist users to meet recognised Ada standards and subsets such as the Ravenscar Profile and the SPARK safe-subset for Safety-Critical and High-Integrity systems.

Development Tools

Distributed Middleware - CORBA and DDS:

Objective Interface

Objective Interface provides real time connectivity software development tools to meet the high-performance needs for worldwide telecommunications, data communications, industrial automation, consumer electronic, military and aerospace markets. OrbExpress is fully compatible with GNAT Pro on numerous native and cross target platforms.

Prismtech

GNAT Pro is fully integrated with OpenFusion RTOrb Ada Edition (OrbRiver) - The leading CORBA implementation for use in Safety-Critical Systems.

Real-Time Innovations (RTI)

RTI Data Distribution Service is a high-performance messaging and data-caching solution for the development and integration of applications that require low latency, high throughput, high scalability, deterministic responses and minimal consumption of network, processor and memory resources. RTI Data Distribution Service with GNAT Pro combines the unsurpassed messaging performance of RTI middleware, the portability and interoperability provided by the DDS standard, and the powerful development environment of GNAT Pro to build high-performance, fully standards-compliant distributed applications.

UML Tools:

Artisan SW

Artisan Software Tools is the world’s largest independent supplier of industrial-grade, collaborative modeling tools for complex, mission-critical systems and software. Artisan’s standards-based tool suite, Artisan Studio(r), enables you to automatically generate and synchronize your Ada source code and model with the Ada ‘Automatic Code Synchronization’ (ACS) technology. Artisan Ada Synchronizer supports code synchronization and structural comparison between UML class models developed with Artisan’s Studio and Ada source code.

Telelogic

Developing high quality embedded systems and software to meet tight deliver schedules demands a robust design environment. Telelogic achieves this with Rhapsody®, an integrated visual modeling environment for embedded and real-time system engineering projects. The solution uses SysML 1.0 and UML® 2.1 with graphical C programming, allowing engineers to quickly and non-ambiguously specify requirements, design structure and the behavioral aspects of the system. For the embedded device developer, Rhapsody offers a Model Driven Development (MDD) environment for embedded systems, enabling you to create graphical models of the system that can be simulated and tested while automatically generating C/C++/ Ada or Java code that is directly deployable on the end product.
