Applied Microsystems Enters Embedded Linux Market
CodeTEST Software Test & Analysis Tools to Support MontaVista Linux and other Embedded Linux
REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 25, 2002--Applied
Microsystems Corp. (Nasdaq:APMC - News) announces today its entry into the
embedded Linux market with the introduction of its popular CodeTEST
for Embedded Linux software test and analysis tool suite.
CodeTEST® for Embedded Linux is engineered to support all
variations of embedded Linux, especially MontaVista(TM) Linux® -the
industry's most widely used Linux development platform for embedded
systems.
For the first time, developers and testers will have the ability
to conduct highly accurate and comprehensive software performance
testing, memory testing, RTOS and source code level execution trace,
and code coverage on applications based on an embedded Linux platform.
"Developers worldwide using MontaVista Linux have been asking for
tools just like CodeTEST," explains Kevin Morgan, vice president of
engineering at MontaVista Software. "CodeTEST allows for hardware
tracing of kernel and driver code, allowing you to get profile
reports, code coverage analysis, and an excellent code browser that
highlights which parts of your code have been executed."
Embedded Linux users can use CodeTEST to improve the speed and
efficiency of their applications, prevent crashes due to memory leaks
and errors, analyze test effectiveness, and expedite mission-critical
system certifications. CodeTEST ACT - Applied's Advanced Coverage Tool
- is now also available to embedded Linux developers for the first
time, opening up new opportunities for developers in the avionics
industry who need "Level A" coverage and who seek to expedite the
FAA's DO-178B tool qualification process.
"Industry studies report over 40 percent of all unplanned downtime
in a product development/test cycle is a result of software failures
and errors. CodeTEST helps development and test teams save their
company valuable time and money by tackling the very causes of these
software failures head on and quickly," according to Applied's General
Manager Todd Greenwalt. "CodeTEST, for example, measures over 128,000
real-time function executions at once; pinpoints and calculates the
impact of things like algorithmic errors, call-pair distribution and
Interrupt Service Routines; conducts point-to-point measurements of
the highest possible fidelity; assesses how much CPU functions/tasks
consume; and produces user-friendly reports so you can easily identify
and analyze issues straight away in your software."
Pricing & Availability
Available immediately, CodeTEST for Embedded Linux is sold as a
complete suite or as separate modules for performance, memory, trace,
coverage and advanced coverage. For pricing details, contact
