LDRA Software Technology

A key feature of TBreq is its ability to capture requirements (high-level, derived and low-level) from any management tool and source, while providing an intuitive interface for traceability, test case generation and requirements verification.

All of these features combine to make TBreq the most effective solution for Requirements Coverage and Traceability on the market today.

Increasing visibility when checking industry standards compliance, locating security vulnerabilities and for defect
and fault detection using TBvision®

TBvision continues to advance automated code analysis and testing tools for the highly complex security-and safety-critical markets common in industry sectors such as military and aerospace, automotive, communications, industrial and medical.

Increases Visibility for Software Standards Compliance and Security Vulnerabilities

LDRArules provides transparency into source code, enabling managers, teams and developers to better monitor standards compliance, memory management errors and security vulnerabilities.

LDRAcover is the LDRA Code Coverage Reporting Tool. It provides users with the ability to quickly and easily view code coverage results such as callgraphs, flowgraphs, and code coverage reports in an interactive easy-to-use interface with powerful filtering capabilities.

LDRA Testbed is a unique quality control tool that provides powerful source code testing and analysis facilities for the validation and verification of software applications. It is invaluable where computer software is required to be reliable, rugged and as error free as possible and its use brings substantial time, cost and efficiency savings.

It is a powerful and fully integrated tool suite, which enables advanced software analysis techniques to be applied at key stages of the development lifecycle.

The primary goal of unit testing is to take the smallest piece of testable software in the application, isolate it from the remainder of the code, and determine whether it behaves exactly as expected.

Each unit is tested separately before integrating them into modules to test the interfaces between modules. Unit testing has proven its value in that a large percentage of defects are identified during its use.

Requirements Engineering for Embedded Software Development

The use of embedded software has ballooned as an affordable way to deliver added value features while reducing time-to-market. At the same time product have experienced an increase in the complexity, and now face a number of new challenges.

The TBsecure plug-in to TBvision comes complete with the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute (SEI) CERT C secure coding standard. TBsecure identifies security vulnerabilities and enables implementation of the just released CERT C Secure Coding Standard version 1.0.

TBevolve is an additional module to LDRA Testbed that identifies and tracks significant source code changes and enables projects to accurately monitor the impact of these code changes on their testing process.

This is achieved by taking a baseline copy of the software system under test and then highlighting the impact of subsequent code changes so that any knock-on effects from the change can be tracked and tested with minimal effort.
