Vector Software Announces Release 6.4 of VectorCAST

Providence, RI – 12/1/2015 – – Vector Software, the world’s leading provider of innovative software solutions for robust embedded software quality, announced today the release of VectorCAST™ version 6.4, the most advanced test automation platform for C/C++ and Ada development.  VectorCAST 6.4 includes a host of new features and enhancements in data aggregation, reporting, usability, and tool integration.  Major new features include:

  • Function and Function Call Coverage:  Required for ISO 26262 Certification, VectorCAST 6.4 Function Call Coverage for each test case and in aggregate across all flavors of testing.

  • Static Analysis Integration Improvements: VectorCAST out of the box integration with leading static analysis tools has been reworked to provide a consistent set of controls, regardless of the static tool being used.  The configuration, annotated listings, and message viewer provide the same workflow for VectorCAST/Lint, PRQA QA?C, QA?C++, and Klocwork.

Additionally there are several new language-specific features for Ada development including:

  • VectorCAST/Ada Stub By Function: Stubbing of functions can now be dynamically controlled on a per-test case basis in VectorCAST/Ada. This allows testing to be performed on one individual function in complete isolation from its dependent functions.

  • VectorCAST/Ada Change-Based Testing: New Change-Based Testing functionality built into VectorCAST/Ada allows engineers to quickly and easily assess the impact of a source code change on not only their code, but the entire software application.

VectorCAST 6.4 is immediately available to customers worldwide. To learn more about VectorCAST 6.4, please visit: www.vectorcast.com/vectorcast-64.

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.
