Nice (France) / Offenburg (Germany), 23 June 2005

Verifysoft Technology http://www.verifysoft.com and Ardence http://www.ardence.com announced today the adaptation of Testwell CTC++ Test Coverage Analyzer for Ardence RTX.

Ardence RTX with Testwell CTC++ Test Coverage Analyzer is already sucessful in use in several safety critical projects in France and Germany.

About Testwell CTC++

CTC++ from Testwell in Finland is a powerful tool to measure code coverage in C and C++ projects. By checking the function-, decision-, statement-, condition-, multicondition- and modified condition/decision (MC/DC) coverage, CTC++ helps to make sure that the whole code of a software project has been tested. Thanks to the very low instrumentation overhead Testwell CTC++ Test Coverage Analyzer can be used for almost any targets and can be easily adapted to new targets by CTC++ customers.
CTC++ is suitable for use in safety critical and mission critical software development projects, i.e. to obtain DO-178B Level A certification for the avionics industry.
