Case Study: Thales achieves high-integrity ETCS software testing success with QA Systems Cantata

Thales achieves 100% statement coverage with QA Systems

Thales, a global company in the transportation sector, faced the challenge of developing safety-critical software for the European Train Control System (ETCS). The project, governed by the stringent CENELEC EN 50128 standard, required achieving 100% statement and 95% decision coverage in unit testing. Thales turned to QA Systems and its Cantata testing tool to meet these high reliability and integration demands within their complex development environment.

QA Systems provided the Cantata testing solution, which was successfully integrated into Thales' toolchain. The vendor's excellent technical support and comprehensive training were crucial to the project's success. Using Cantata, the Thales team not only achieved the required coverage metrics but also reported increased motivation among developers. The tool's reliable performance in this mission-critical environment justified Thales' confidence in QA Systems.
