A QA Systems Case Study
The customer, Osys AG, a specialist in high-integrity software systems, faced the challenge of conducting system acceptance tests for a railway signaling tool. They needed to generate code metrics, determine test coverage, and report on unexercised code areas, a process that was previously cumbersome and inefficient using multiple proprietary tools. The vendor, QA Systems, provided the Cantata testing tool to meet this need.
QA Systems implemented its Cantata tool to provide integrated coverage and metric analysis in a single, cost-effective package. Cantata successfully analyzed the C++ system running in the background while a separate GUI test tool executed the test cases. The solution provided all necessary features, and the support team was praised for delivering timely solutions. The tool is certified for use in developing safety-related software to the highest integrity level (SW-SIL 4) per the EN 50128 standard.
