Vector Fabrics Slashes Development Time and Cost of Complex Embedded Systems Using Dynamic Analysis

February 10, 2016

Zaltbommel, The Netherlands – February 10, 2016 – Today, Vector Fabrics announced the full release of Pareon Verify, a dynamic analyzer that detects hard-to-find errors that appear only in the execution of an application. Due to their sensitivity to changes in timing and environment, run-time errors tend to be missed by traditional testing and have a greater likelihood of not being found until they cause problems in the field. At this point, however, the error may have resulted in serious injury, loss of life, … Read More → "Vector Fabrics Slashes Development Time and Cost of Complex Embedded Systems Using Dynamic Analysis"
