Case Study: Meggitt achieves shortest unit test phase with QA Systems Cantata

Meggitt - Customer Case Study

Meggitt, a global aerospace and defence engineering group, faced the challenge of developing highly reliable software for its Engine Interface and Power Monitoring (EIPM) unit for the Airbus A380, which needed to meet the stringent DO-178B safety standard. The requirement for comprehensive dynamic testing, coverage analysis, and static analysis led them to evaluate tools from QA Systems, ultimately selecting their Cantata testing tool due to its proven effectiveness.

QA Systems implemented its Cantata tool to perform the unit tests and provide 100% statement and decision coverage for Meggitt's C code. The solution was successfully customized for Meggitt's environment and deployed on both a simulator and the real hardware target. This resulted in a highly efficient unit test phase, with Meggitt praising the tool for enabling the shortest possible testing time with great efficiency in terms of cost.
