Getting you testing faster and efficiently.
Our experts can deliver onsite or offsite tailored consulting from a few days to a few weeks.
When you need to integrate VectorCAST within your test environment, guide your team in the best usage of VectorCAST, or any other dedicated help, our experts can deliver onsite or offsite tailored consulting from a few days to a few weeks.
Our experts can also provide tailored workshops, premium onsite/offsite dedicated support, guidance on how to use VectorCAST in regulated environments, or any other needs you may have to be successful and efficient in your testing activities.
Even the best companies have “gaps” within their software development.
These gaps are the differences between your company’s actual processes versus those needed for optimum completion. By leveraging decades of domain expertise in understanding and deploying industry best practices, Vector Services can perform a gap analysis audit for you in as little as one to two weeks.
Vector Services gap analysis audit identifies potential gaps between your current compliance requirements and those required by functional safety standards such as: ISO 26262, DO-178B/C, DO-254, IEC 61508, FDA 510(k), IEC 62304, EN 50128 and others. Vector Services will also provide recommendations for improvements based upon best practices within comparable software development organizations.
Vector Services engineers can assist you with implementing a Baseline Testing infrastructure (also known as characterization testing) within your development lifecycle.
Baseline Testing is useful for legacy code bases that have inadequate test cases, or need certification to a standard. Often the lack of sufficient tests means that the application cannot be easily modified since changes may break existing functionality. Having test cases that formalize the behavior of an existing piece of software enable developers to refactor and enhance the application with confidence; it also provides the data necessary towards obtaining certification.
In summary, you will reduce or eliminate your technical debt, while reusing all the developed test cases on the next software revision. Due to testing automation, it will require minimal personnel or resources to run and maintain your testing environment.
When your development team does not have the time, bandwidth or expertise to meet your certification and coverage needs, Vector Services can help.
One of the concerns when transitioning to any new technology is how to handle the artifacts from the previous generation of tools.
When changing your tools and methods for software test you would ideally like to re-use as many of the existing test cases as possible. There might be hundreds or thousands of legacy tests.
1. For parts of the application that will not change significantly, the legacy tests can be integrated into VectorCAST allowing for roll-up reporting of legacy and VectorCAST tests in a single dashboard.
2. For parts of the application being modified, VectorCAST consultants can use our proprietary tools to migrate legacy tests to native VectorCAST tests. This allows the legacy test environment to be retired once the migration is complete.
Successful projects use their tools productively. Our consultants can help ensure that you are using your VectorCAST tool suite effectively and efficiently, including seamless integration of VectorCAST with the other software engineering tools deployed on your project.
Vector Services offers comprehensive instructor-led training, hands-on workshops, and consulting services designed to benefit software development professionals and impact your company's bottom line. Our trainers are embedded software engineers who will focus on how to best use VectorCAST products to achieve your embedded testing goals.
All VectorCAST training can be customized to focus on your software development requirements, environment, and specific learning requirements.
