Overview
editPDTP was introduced in 2009 as Parasoft Concerto.[2][3] The platform generates software reports from routine software development tasks and compiles information from different software testing procedures to provide a summary of the software's codebase. It comes with built-in algorithms that perform various methods of analysis such as aggregated code coverage and change-based testing.[4]
Features include a user-configurable reporting system with APIs to input data from software development or testing tools, and the ability to integrate with third-party tools.[5] Reports may be used to monitor and analyze how software is being implemented across multiple builds and aggregated across all software testing practices.[6]
In 2012, VDC Research awarded PDTP the Software Embeddy for the 2012 DESIGN East show.[7]
PDTP includes pre-configured templates for:[8]
- American National Standards Institute 62304 for Medical Device Software Development
- DO-178B
- IEC 61508 & Safety Integrity Level
- U.S. Food and Drug Administration General Principles of Software Validation
- ISO 26262 & ASIL
- Joint Strike Fighter Program
- Safety-critical Software Development
- Motor Industry Research Association
- Safety Integrity Level
The templates combine automated testing with the process recommendations and requirements outlined in common guidelines.[9]
