Digital technology is constantly transforming how businesses engage with their customers and employees. To navigate this ever-changing landscape, industrial companies need a technology partner that can help them survive—and thrive—by rapidly accelerating digital transformation across their products, operations, and workforce. That’s where PTC shines.

Our unique portfolio of CAD, PLM, IoT, and AR technologies work together to establish a digital thread that spans the entire product lifecycle, enabling faster data continuity across your business and better collaboration between your teams.

Our purpose at PTC isn’t just to imagine a better world, it’s to give our customers and our employees the Power To Create it—together. This “Power To Create” is infused into everything we do; it’s what leads to the development of more sustainable products and solutions, more engaged and dynamic workforces, and more meaningful investments into the communities we care about. Our “Power To Create” is reflected across our values, our sustainability initiatives, and our innovative digital technology that improves how our customers work and live.

LDRA tool suite and PTC® codeBeamer® solution provides a complete ALM and software testing solution

LDRA has integrated its tool suite with PTC codeBeamer ALM to offer a complete Application Lifecycle Management and software testing solution for embedded real-time, safety- and security-critical application development.

PTC codeBeamer ALM is designed to break down cross-enterprise silos and reduce lifecycle management complexity, helping development teams to build high quality products faster. The integration of codeBeamer ALM with the traceable, bidirectionally linked placeholders and artefacts of the LDRA tool suite extends its capabilities to embedded software development.

The unified solution enables bidirectional traceability between requirements, source code, and the analyses and tests performed on host or target using the LDRA tool suite. The outcomes of these validation and verification activities provide insights both into the progress of development and into the code quality, complexity, and stability of the evolving system. These insights are reflected both in the codeBeamer user interface, and in the evidential artefacts accessible from codeBeamer ALM or the LDRA tool suite.

Benefits

• provides an ALM framework for the software validation and verification of real-time embedded systems
• imports codeBeamer ALM requirements and test cases into the LDRA tool suite, complete with comprehensive traceability links
• identifies code flaws using the LDRA tool suite, and logs, prioritizes, assigns, and tracks them in codeBeamer
• delivers end-to-end bidirectional traceability between requirements, design, code, and tests artefacts
• rapidly performs automated static analysis, dynamic analysis, unit testing, structural coverage, test case creation, and on-target hardware execution
• greatly increases the efficiency of software testing and reduces cost through automation and tool collaboration
• supports qualification and certification in accordance with functional safety standards including DO-178B/C, ISO 26262, IEC 61508, and IEC 62304

LDRA tool suite and PTC® Windchill® integration presents a complete product lifecycle management and software testing solution

LDRA has partnered with PTC to offer an integrated product lifecycle management and software testing solution for the embedded real-time, safety- and security-critical markets.

PTC Windchill software is designed to help innovative industries to advance the development, governance and maintenance of software by providing a unified solution for requirements, quality, and application lifecycle management. The integration with the LDRA tool suite with its concept of traceable, bidirectionally linked work items seamlessly extends Windchill’s enterprise capabilities to embedded software analysis and testing.

The combined solution enables users to trace from requirements to source code analyses and tests, and vice versa. It leverages the LDRA tool suite to perform static analysis in the target or the host development environment, and dynamic analysis under simulation or on the target. Analysis outcomes are reflected in the Windchill user interface, providing insight into the progress of development, and the code quality, complexity, and stability of the evolving system. Evidential artefacts can be generated at any time by either solution.

Benefits:

• provides a product lifecycle management (PLM) framework for the software validation and verification of real-time embedded systems
• imports Windchill PLM requirements and test cases into the LDRA tool suite, complete with comprehensive traceability links
• delivers end-to-end bidirectional traceability from requirements, design, code, and tests artefacts
• identifies code flaws using the LDRA tool suite, and logs, prioritizes, assigns, and tracks them in Windchill
• rapidly performs automated static analysis, dynamic analysis, unit testing, structural coverage, test case creation, and on-target hardware execution
• greatly increases the efficiency of software testing and reduces cost through automation and tool collaboration
• supports qualification and certification in accordance with functional safety standards including DO-178B/C, ISO 26262, IEC 61508, and IEC 62304
