LDRA Product Family v10.6.0: Smarter Coverage, Faster Certification

The lat­est release of the LDRA prod­uct fam­i­ly - ver­sion 10.6.0 - deliv­ers mean­ing­ful advances in code cov­er­age analy­sis, exe­cu­tion tim­ing, and work­flow effi­cien­cy. For teams devel­op­ing safe­ty-crit­i­cal embed­ded soft­ware, these updates trans­late direct­ly to reduced cer­ti­fi­ca­tion cost, lower risk, and faster deliv­ery.

Trace-Based Cov­er­age: The Best of Both Worlds 

One of the head­line capa­bil­i­ties in v10.6.0 is the inte­gra­tion of trace-based code cov­er­age with LDRA’s exist­ing instru­men­ta­tion-based approach. Using TASKING’s winIDEA IDE and Blue­Box debug­gers, engi­neers can now cap­ture cov­er­age data direct­ly from hard­ware trace - with no source code mod­i­fi­ca­tion and min­i­mal over­head - and import those results seam­less­ly into LDRA cov­er­age results and reports. 

By com­bin­ing trace-based cov­er­age with LDRA’s instru­men­ta­tion-based cov­er­age and apply­ing cov­er­age smooth­ing, users can ben­e­fit from the speed and non-intru­sive­ness of trace-based cov­er­age and the deep cov­er­age analy­sis (includ­ing MC/DC) and that instru­men­ta­tion pro­vides. The result is a flex­i­ble, hybrid approach that reduces the struc­tur­al cov­er­age cost and effort for projects tar­get­ing DO-178C DAL A/B, ISO 26262 ASIL C/D, or IEC 61508 SIL 3/4 com­pli­ance.

TBex­ec: Exe­cu­tion Tim­ing Analy­sis for Mul­ti­core 

Ver­sion 10.6.0 intro­duces TBex­ec, a new tim­ing analy­sis capa­bil­i­ty aimed at real-time, safe­ty-crit­i­cal embed­ded soft­ware. Part of the Worst-Case Exe­cu­tion Time (WCET) Pack­age, TBex­ec cap­tures actu­al test exe­cu­tion data to prove that soft­ware meets its tim­ing require­ments - and visu­al­izes that data through inter­ac­tive sched­ul­ing and func­tion tim­ing dia­grams. 

For mul­ti­core appli­ca­tions in par­tic­u­lar, TBex­ec enhances test­ing automa­tion sig­nif­i­cant­ly. Detailed tim­ing reports cov­er­ing best-case and worst-case exe­cu­tion times, call times, and func­tion over­laps give engi­neers the evi­dence they need for cer­ti­fi­ca­tion, with RTOS-inde­pen­dent oper­a­tion that works across bare-metal and any RTOS envi­ron­ment. 

User Expe­ri­ence and Pro­duc­tiv­i­ty Improve­ments

The release also includes prac­ti­cal improve­ments that reduce day-to-day fric­tion: 

  • Glob­al Stubs lets users load stub behav­ior from exter­nal tem­plates when cre­at­ing test har­ness­es, reduc­ing stub man­age­ment over­head as code­bas­es and regres­sion suites grow over time. 
  • TBre­ports source file path res­o­lu­tion auto­mat­i­cal­ly han­dles cases where report files have moved since they were gen­er­at­ed - prompt­ing the user once to locate the new path, then resolv­ing all relat­ed file ref­er­ences. 
  • New stan­dards pack­ages for the Ener­gy sec­tor expand TBman­ager’s cov­er­age to include EN 60880 and IEC 62138 objec­tives, now part of the LDRA Pro­duc­tiv­i­ty Pack­age for Ener­gy.

The Bot­tom Line

Ver­sion 10.6.0 of the LDRA prod­uct fam­i­ly deliv­ers real ver­i­fi­ca­tion and cer­ti­fi­ca­tion value. Whether you’re look­ing to reduce struc­tur­al cov­er­age effort through hybrid trace/instrumentation work­flows, gain tim­ing vis­i­bil­i­ty for mul­ti­core sys­tems, or stream­line test man­age­ment across large code­bas­es, this release will help you reduce ver­i­fi­ca­tion time, reduce cer­ti­fi­ca­tion cost, and lower over­all project risk.
