Vector Software, the leading provider of software test tools for embedded systems, today announced support for the TASKING C166 compiler. Previous versions of VectorCAST already supported the TASKING compiler on 56k chips. The latest release now supports a variety of chips based on the C166 architecture, such as the C167, XC2287 and XC2364.
VectorCAST’s integration with the TASKING compiler leverages the capabilities of the TASKING Script Debugger, which makes it possible to execute test cases on target or with the simulator automatically. The TASKING compiler is made by Altium, the industry’s leading developer of electronic product development solutions.
“As a proud TASKING partner, we are pleased to be able to expand our offering to the TASKING user community” says Bill McCaffrey, Director of Marketing at Vector Software. “This latest integration was done in support of a customer from the automotive industry. With the rapid rise of embedded software, all industries are struggling to maintain the highest level of quality. To help them, we intend to keep bringing the benefits of automated software testing to embedded developers across multiple platforms”.
