Wind River strømliner softwareudviklingen

Wind River lancerer den seneste version af Test Management værktøjet, der kan lette arbejdet med udvikling af embedded software markant (in english).

Wind River has announced the immediate availability of the latest version of Wind River Test Management, Wind Rivers test automation system for monitoring, executing and managing embedded device software testing. The system features dynamic analytics technology that enables run-time visibility into devices during testing to provide operational and actionable feedback that product teams can use to confidently deliver their products on time, on budget and with high quality.

Wind River Test Management delivers insights at run-time, enabling teams to make informed decisions that improve software quality and help them avoid potential delays during the testing process.


The tool lets teams execute complex tests while dynamically gathering information from the production software under test as it is running, without requiring special pre-instrumented software builds. This approach allows teams to adopt new white-box test techniques that give testers visibility into the operation of the device and help them determine the thoroughness of the tests, quickly identify defects and performance bottlenecks, and focus efforts on sections of software that are most in need of testing.

Wind River Test Management also includes special support for new iterative or agile testing methods where, unlike traditional processes where testing is relegated to the end of the development cycle when software is complete, these new approaches include repeated testing of intermediate releases. Wind River Test Management's change-driven testing features automatically inform test teams exactly what software is new and what tests need to be run to verify them.

- With device complexity continuing to skyrocket, traditional black box testing methods are inadequate to assure high quality. Development teams are increasingly delayed by late-cycle surprises and they are realizing they don't have sufficient visibility during the development cycle into whether they are meeting quality goals, says Amit Ronen, vice president and general manager for device test at Wind River.
- Specifically designed for embedded device testing, Wind River Test Management allows product development teams to take action on information gathered at runtime to measure, focus and optimize their test processes.

Key enhancements

The following are key enhancements of the latest Wind River Test Management release:

- Scalability of run-time test coverage for monitoring very large applications is improved by 10 times.
- New features track code churn and enable change-based test automation to streamline iterative and agile testing.
- A new hybrid test type combines manual and scripted steps to allow sophisticated, hybrid device test sequences and facilitate migration to fully automated testing.
- A new component-based test model with file attachments allows development of more self-contained, data-driven, modular and maintainable tests.
- Improved support for multi-core devices and multi-device test beds lets teams perform complex parallel testing and runtime data collection while simplifying lab   device management.

Wind River Test Management is an open system that combines a scalable test execution engine, an embedded device virtual lab manager and dynamic software instrumentation technology. It takes advantage of existing test assets and can be deployed as a stand-alone system or integrated via open interfaces to add value to leading commercial tools or internally developed test environments.
