Natick, MA – April 3, 2012 – VDC Research Group, Inc. (VDC), the leading authority on the embedded systems software development solutions market, announced GrammaTech as the winner of the annual “Embeddy” software award at the 2012 ESC DESIGN West conference. The award recognizes the company’s CodeSonar visualization system as the best in show at the event.
“We chose GrammaTech because we believe the CodeSonar visualization system represents a unique solution that has the ability to materially impact the way developers test and analyze their source code,” said Jared Weiner, Analyst for VDC’s Embedded Software & Tools practice. “This offering is designed to optimize the visual inspection and analysis of software through a sophisticated new interface for viewing the relationships between software program elements, and is built to handle very large code bases.”
The software award was presented to GrammaTech on stage following Thursday’s keynote speech, and was accepted by Paul Anderson, GrammaTech’s Vice President of Engineering.
After receiving the award, Dr. Paul Anderson, VP of Engineering at GrammaTech said, “GrammaTech is honored to receive this award. I would like to thank our engineering team for their creativity and dedication to the development of this new visualization system, and our government sponsors who funded the research that led to its creation. We are delighted to see the positive reaction that people have to this tool. That developers are so eager to use it once they see it in action indicates there is strong need for a tool to help them gain understanding of large, complex code bases.”
