Case Study: Thales achieves high-integrity rail software testing compliance with QA Systems Cantata

Thales - Customer Case Study

The customer, Thales, faced the challenge of developing the highest safety integrity level (SIL 4) software for the European Train Control System (ETCS). They required a reliable testing solution to prove 100% statement and 95% decision coverage for their mission-critical C and C++ applications. To meet these rigorous EN 50128 standards, they turned to vendor QA Systems and their Cantata testing tool.

QA Systems provided the Cantata test automation framework, which was successfully integrated into Thales' development environment. The solution included expert training and professional support, leading to the required coverage metrics and higher software quality. Thales reported that using Cantata also increased developer motivation and pride, and they were very pleased with the tool's successful deployment on this critical program.
