Unit testing and integration testing are the lowest levels of testing performed during software development, where individual functions, classes, or subsystems of software are tested in isolation from other parts of a program. This level of testing is also the least expensive time to fix software bugs if they can be identified. IPL Cantata++ for Workbench (formerly Wind River Unit Tester) is a plug-in that allows developers to more efficiently complete unit testing, integration testing, and code coverage analysis on the tests.
The integration between Cantata++ for Workbench and the rest of the Workbench development suite places these capabilities within easy reach for every developer. This helps to increase software quality, decrease time-to-market, and reduce support costs through better, faster, more automated testing during the development life cycle.
Features
- Makes it easier for developers to perform unit testing as each function or class is written, thereby catching bugs earlier in the development process
- Tight integration with Workbench encourages standardized unit test development across a project and across engineers
- Integrated coverage analysis provides statement, decision, MC/DC, entry point, and call-return metrics
- Consistent test reporting across an entire project in XML, HTML, or RTF ensures unbiased, unambiguous documentation of results
