Feb­ru­ary 12, 2025

The trans­ac­tion strength­ens TASK­ING’s full range of safe­ty- and secu­ri­ty-relat­ed soft­ware develop­ment tools. 

Munich, Ger­many, 12 Feb­ru­ary 2025 – TASKING has announced the acqui­si­tion of 100% of LDRA, a provider of soft­ware tools for code analy­sis and soft­ware test­ing for safety‑, mis­sion, secu­ri­ty- and busi­ness-crit­i­cal mar­kets.  

LDRA has been a pri­vate­ly owned com­pa­ny with a team of more than 100 employ­ees dis­trib­uted across the Unit­ed King­dom (head­quar­ters), Unit­ed States, India and Ger­many. LDRA’s tools achieve ear­ly error iden­ti­fi­ca­tion and elim­i­na­tion by enabling bi-direc­tion­al require­ments trace­abil­i­ty, sta­t­ic and dynam­ic code analy­sis, and unit- and sys­tem-lev­el ver­i­fi­ca­tion on a wide vari­ety of hard­ware and soft­ware plat­forms. LDRA’s exten­sive report­ing capa­bil­i­ties help crit­i­cal appli­ca­tion develop­ment teams to mit­i­gate risk and demon­strate com­pli­ance to func­tion­al safe­ty and secu­ri­ty stan­dards. LDRA’s cer­ti­fi­ca­tion ser­vices com­ple­ment the LDRA tool suite offer­ing with indus­try-spe­cif­ic sub­ject mat­ter exper­tise.

LDRA’s impres­sive port­fo­lio of soft­ware tools that auto­mate code analy­sis and soft­ware test­ing for safety‑, mission‑, secu­ri­ty, and busi­ness-crit­i­cal mar­kets is high­ly com­ple­men­tary to TASK­ING’s exist­ing high-qual­i­ty, func­tion­al safe­ty-cer­ti­fied embed­ded soft­ware develop­ment tools and com­pil­ers.

With the com­bi­na­tion of our prod­uct port­fo­lios, we enhance the cus­tomer expe­ri­ence. Togeth­er, we speed develop­ment and ver­i­fi­ca­tion of crit­i­cal embed­ded appli­ca­tions using indus­try best prac­tices even on the most com­plex appli­ca­tions that lever­age mul­ti­core proces­sors.” 

“With the acqui­si­tion of LDRA, we offer our cus­tomers a com­pre­hen­sive port­fo­lio to sup­port the soft­ware develop­ment for safe­ty-crit­i­cal appli­ca­tions in a wide range of mar­kets, includ­ing aero­space and auto­mo­tive,” con­firms Gre­gor Zink, CEO of TASKING.
