Wind River Test Management Shortens Testing Process

Wind River Systems has announced a test automation solution -- called Test Management. The solution is designed to help device manufacturers shorten the testing process, drive down product development costs, and bring devices to market more quickly. Wind River Test Management will automate the software quality assurance process and improve overall code quality.
"Quality is a corner office issue and is directly related to brand and revenue impact," said Amit Ronen, vice president and general manager, device management, Wind River. "By introducing Test Management, Wind River is significantly reducing the complexity of the quality assurance process, which brings with it significant cost savings and time-to-market opportunities."

According to the company, Test Management will be a distributed testing framework that will enable teams to efficiently plan tests, execute tests, perform fact-based analysis, and rapidly resolve issues encountered throughout the testing phase.

Test Management features test planning facilities; a test execution framework; automatic collection of test and fault data; diagnostics interface; auto-generated 'dynamic' code coverage and performance measurement; virtual lab management; integration into Wind River Workbench; and it also supports devices running Wind River's VxWorks and Linux run-time platforms.

Wind River Test Management is expected to be available in the third quarter of 2008.
