TASKING Celebrates 1-year Anniversary of LDRA Acquisition with Launch of Complete End-to-End “Compile, Debug, Test” Toolchain for Safety- and Security-Critical Systems

The TASKING tool­chain seam­less­ly unlocks the full poten­tial of the com­bined tools, enabling CI/CD-capa­ble cer­ti­fied work­flows with AI to opti­mize develop­ment from require­ments to com­pli­ance while accel­er­at­ing design and reduc­ing cost and risk.

Munich – Feb­ru­ary 12, 2026 – On the first anniver­sary of its acqui­si­tion of LDRA, TASKING, a glob­al leader in high-per­for­mance embed­ded soft­ware develop­ment tools, announced the avail­abil­i­ty of its TASKING tool­chain. With the suc­cess­ful inte­gra­tion of LDRA and TASKING capa­bil­i­ties, this seam­less, inte­grat­ed tool­chain pro­vides com­plete end-to-end com­pile, debug, and test capa­bil­i­ties. Its AI enhance­ments accel­er­ate the design of func­tion­al­ly safe and secure embed­ded real-time sys­tems in auto­mo­tive, aero­space & defense, indus­tri­al, and robot­ics.

“We acquired LDRA to make it even eas­i­er and more cost-effec­tive for our cus­tomers to bring safe, secure embed­ded sys­tems to mar­ket,” said Christoph Her­zog, Co-CEO of TASKING. “By inte­grat­ing LDRA’s elite test­ing soft­ware with our indus­try-lead­ing com­pil­ers and debug­gers, we’ve cre­at­ed a uni­fied, AI-pow­ered CI/CD-capa­ble cer­ti­fied tool­chain that opti­mizes develop­ment from require­ments to com­pli­ance. Whether cus­tomers need indi­vid­ual com­pile, debug or test tools or a com­plete end-to-end solu­tion, they can now find it from one com­pa­ny. We also remain com­mit­ted to pro­vid­ing con­tin­ued sup­port for all LDRA cus­tomers.”

As part of its long-term vision, TASKING con­tin­u­al­ly invests in inno­va­tion, prod­uct inte­gra­tion, and long-term growth to strength­en its posi­tion as a trust­ed provider of safe­ty-crit­i­cal and secu­ri­ty-crit­i­cal soft­ware solu­tions.

The inte­grat­ed TASKING tool­chain sim­pli­fies and accel­er­ates com­plex develop­ment tasks such as assess­ing Worse Case Exe­cu­tion Time (WCET) in the pres­ence of multi‑core inter­fer­ence. Develop­ment is fur­ther stream­lined with AI enhance­ments that help auto­mate tedious man­u­al efforts to opti­mize results and options in less time. OEMs are expe­ri­enc­ing a reduc­tion in develop­ment effort of up to 30%.

Inte­grat­ed Tool­chain Capa­bil­i­ties Unlock Unique Poten­tial

Addi­tion­al­ly, the TASKING tool­chain offers numer­ous advan­tages for embed­ded soft­ware develop­ment engi­neers, includ­ing:

  • Cer­ti­fied tools, soft­ware com­po­nents, and work­flows for spe­cif­ic indus­tries and stan­dards
  • Intrin­sic safe­ty and secu­ri­ty through­out the develop­ment process
  • Lower risk and cost from cod­ing to com­pli­ance and cer­ti­fi­ca­tion
  • Sim­pli­fied fleet license man­age­ment glob­al­ly
  • Advanced mul­ti­core SoC develop­ment lever­ag­ing both phys­i­cal and vir­tu­al­ized envi­ron­ments

The ben­e­fits of an inte­grat­ed tool­chain go far beyond per­for­mance and ease of use. Tools designed to work togeth­er enable unique capa­bil­i­ties dif­fi­cult or impos­si­ble to achieve using indi­vid­ual tools. For exam­ple, assess­ing and opti­miz­ing the impact of multi-core inter­fer­ence on WCET for com­pli­ance test­ing requires iter­a­tive analy­sis. The process involves try­ing dif­fer­ent com­pil­er options, cap­tur­ing real-time data with a debugger/target, and ana­lyz­ing data with the right test tools – a feat best accom­plished with inte­grat­ed end-to-end tools.

“With the inte­grat­ed TASKING tool­chain, TASKING brings togeth­er the entire soft­ware develop­ment life­cy­cle – from require­ments to deploy­ment – and takes it to a new level,” Her­zog added. “Seam­less­ly intro­duc­ing test and ver­i­fi­ca­tion in early design stages reveals poten­tial issues soon­er, min­i­mizes the cost and delay to resolve them, and accel­er­ates com­pli­ance to indus­try stan­dards while reduc­ing risk.” Learn more about how the TASKING tool­chain is chang­ing the way the world devel­ops embed­ded soft­ware. The over­all com­pile – debug – test port­fo­lio, includ­ing AI capa­bil­i­ties, will be show­cased by TASKING at Embed­ded World 2026, in Hall 4, Booth 4-150.

About TASKING

TASKING is a lead­ing provider of embed­ded soft­ware develop­ment tools that com­pile, debug, and test. These tools enable embed­ded soft­ware engi­neers to devel­op reli­able, high-per­for­mance appli­ca­tions for a safer future. Found­ed in 1977, TASKING is com­mit­ted to expand­ing its port­fo­lio to deliv­er a sin­gle-sup­pli­er, cer­ti­fi­able tool­chain. As a trust­ed part­ner focused on cus­tomer need, exper­tise and a com­mit­ment to sus­tain­abil­i­ty, TASKING and its inte­grat­ed tool­chain accel­er­ates the soft­ware develop­ment life­cy­cle for safe­ty and secu­ri­ty crit­i­cal appli­ca­tions in indus­tries such as auto­mo­tive, aero­space and defense, indus­tri­al, med­ical, robot­ics and oth­ers.
