Vector and Lauterbach, the world’s number one provider of debug and trace solutions, have introduced a joint approach to code coverage measurement.
The new solution is designed to reduce verification overhead, save valuable engineering time, and ultimately shorten the time-to-market for safety-critical applications.
Demonstrating code coverage is a key requirement for safety certification, ensuring that all test cases are complete and no unintended functionality remains.
By combining Lauterbach’s TRACE32® real-time trace technology with Vector’s VectorCAST testing platform, developers can comply with demanding safety standards such as ISO 26262 and DO-178C more efficiently. The integration enables direct collection of coverage data on the target hardware – without impacting real-time behavior or adding unnecessary development complexity.
With TRACE32® coverage data integrated, the need for instrumentation is reduced, minimizing the number of builds and test runs required.
This solution is ideally suited for industries such as automotive, aerospace, medical devices, and railways, where compliance and safety are paramount. It supports all relevant coverage metrics to meet certification demands.
Dr. Markus Herdin, Head of Marketing at Lauterbach GmbH, commented:
“By combining two advanced technologies for code coverage measurement, developers can achieve certification faster and with less effort – bringing products to market more quickly.”
