Rhapsody bridges a gap in code testing
I-Logix has enhanced its Rhapsody embedded design product to allow developers to bridge the gap between design-level and code-level testing.
I-Logix has enhanced its Rhapsody embedded design product to allow developers to bridge the gap between design-level and code-level testing Available immediately within Rhapsody 3.0, these new capabilities enable developers to automatically generate code from system-level actors which can both monitor and stimulate the system under design to ensure that the application will meet its functional requirements

Interface speeds real-time development
QNX Software Systems and I-Logix have developed a new interface that will enable users of I-Logix' Rhapsody application development platform to develop applications for the QNX RTOS.
Real-time embedded applications put to the test
I-Logix claims its Rhapsody TestConductor is the industry's first UML-compliant scenario-based test generation suite for real-time embedded applications.
Furthermore, with this latest partnership with Applied Microsystems, Rhapsody users can now ensure that the target implementation code will meet the timing, performance, and memory requirements as required by the target architecture and environment.
This closes the loop in model-based development and testing by giving the developer the ability to prove their application meets both functional and operational requirements, from the design to code.
The new test and debug capabilities in Rhapsody complement I-Logix' recently announced plan to progressively incorporate technology in its products throughout the coming year which will enable real-time embedded developers to perform design model verification by automatically generating vigorous test scenarios based on the Unified Modeling Language design.

Combo gets the timing right in real time
I-Logix and Tri-Pacific Software have released RapidRMA for Rhapsody, a version of the industry leading RMA timing and schedulability analysis software integrated with I-Logix' Rhapsody.
These model checking and automatic test generation capabilities are being developed under I-Logix' partnership with Offis Systems and Consulting (OSC).
"With many of the next generation of pervasive devices requiring "highly available" applications, the test process must be airtight and integrated closely with the design process", said Neeraj Chandra, senior vice president of marketing and corporate development.
"The testing phase, which accounts for 30 to 60% of the product development time, is a significant barrier to meeting the rapidly increasing speed to market requirements.
The new capabilities in Rhapsody, and the partnership with Applied Microsystems, provide a complete solution to materially compress the testing phase, thus making it easier for enterprises to bring high quality products to market faster".
As a part of today's announcement, I-Logix is furthering its partnership with Applied Microsystems to integrate their CodeOptix family of testing tools with Rhapsody.
In particular the Rhapsody/CodeTest integration allows developers to first seamlessly generate production quality C and C++ code, and then perform quality measurements-including code coverage, performance and trace analyses with the CodeTest product.
