Applied Microsystems Enters Embedded Linux Market; CodeTEST Software Test & Analysis Tools to Support MontaVista Linux and other Embedded Linux.Business Editors Applied Microsystems Corp. (Nasdaq:APMC APMC Application (Server) for Mail and Calendaring APMC Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference APMC Advanced Program Management Course APMC Amicale Philatélique et Marcophile Colmarienne APMC Afloat Personnel Management Center ) announces today its entry into the embedded Linux The Linux operating system configured and enhanced to work in a wide variety of applications, including handheld devices, network appliances, industrial machines and consumer electronics devices. The modularity of the Linux kernel makes it well suited to embedded systems. market with the introduction of its popular CodeTEST for Embedded Linux software test and analysis tool suite. CodeTEST(R) for Embedded Linux is engineered to support all variations of embedded Linux, especially MontaVista(TM) Linux(R) -the industry's most widely used Linux development platform for embedded systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve. . For the first time, developers and testers will have the ability to conduct highly accurate and comprehensive software performance testing In software engineering, performance testing is testing that is performed, from one perspective, to determine how fast some aspect of a system performs under a particular workload. , memory testing, RTOS (1) (RealTime Operating System) An operating system designed for use in a real time computer system. See real time system, embedded system, process control and OS-9. 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 Kevin Andrew Morgan (born 23 February 1977 in Pontypridd) is a Welsh rugby union player who plays for Newport Gwent Dragons and has won 34 caps for Wales, mainly at full back but also as a winger. , vice president of engineering at MontaVista Software MontaVista Software develops systems software, development tools and Embedded Linux-based software targeting embedded systems such as automotive electronics, communications equipment, and television set-top boxes and other connected devices and infrastructure. . "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 according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. 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 CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. 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.
