Why Unit / Integration Test?Simplify Standards Compliance For most safety-critical industries, international standards for device software require evidence of low-level testing and information about how much of the code was tested for certification. Cantata supports the highest safety levels for the most important standards, and unlike any other solutions on the market, the Cantata Tool Certification Kit is completely free.

Cantata has been independently certified by SGS-TÜV SAAR GmbH, (an independent third party certification body for functional safety, accredited by Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle GmbH (DAkkS)) as "usable in development of safety related software” up to the highest safety integrity levels for the following standards:

› IEC 61508:2010 (General Industrial) › ISO 26262:2011 (Automotive) › EN 50128:2011 (Railways) › IEC 60880:2006 (Nuclear Power) › IEC 62304:2006 (Medical)

Cantata has also been successfully qualified many times to DO-178B/C (levels A and B) avionics projects. We provide a Cantata Tool Qualification Kit for customers working towards these standards.

Reduce Commercial RiskThorough software testing by developers ensures that devices perform reliably in the field. Software testing increases your confidence, reduces your risk, and helps prevent software failures after shipping. This protects the reputation of your brand.

Minimize Testing Costs Unit testing and low-level integration testing are the earliest tests performed during software development. This is the least expensive time to fix defects because it is before they enter the wider code stream or, far worse, are shipped to customers.

for the main industry standards!

Quality Testing with CantataA Proven Solution Cantata has been proven in all high-integrity sectors, including medical, air-traffic control, avionics, rail transport, automotive, space, defence and nuclear energy; as well as for business-critical sectors, such as telecom, financial, and digital broadcast systems.

Our comprehensive set of Customer Case Studies and Sector Briefs provide detailed information on how Cantata was used in various projects by customers worldwide. These are available on the QA Systems website.

Flexible UseCantata provides a flexible tool kit for C/C++ developers to perform unit and integration testing on host or embedded target platforms, in an efficient and cost effective manner.

› Computed metrics aid planning most efficient tests › Powerful built-in EDG C/C++ parser generates detailed understanding of code › Automatic Genration of test cases as thorough or light touch as required › Fully configurable views, reports and installation details

› Test and analyis generation options for test script layout, source language, memory, global data and testability instrumentation

› Test harness automates testing as appropriate for: black-box / white-box positive / negative testing requirements / robustness single / large input data sets procedural / object oriented call simulation / interception isolation / integration test host / target execution requirements / baseline test

› Unique testability instrumentation and wrapping provide precision test control and verification › Integrated code coverage and test optimization pinpoint gaps and efficiently directs test efforts

› Results and diagnostics are used for rapid error-identification and to support certification

› Automates repeatable execution through Cantata Makefiles retains value of tests whenever code is built
