Rational Test RealTime

Helps you resolve software problems during the development phase

• Automates the creation and deployment of component test harnesses, test stubs and test drivers.
• Generates automated source code review, which reports on adherence to C source code guidelines.
• Allows you to profile memory and performance, analyze code coverage and visualize the behavior of your program execution.
• Detects and analyzes multithreading problems as they occur in programs. These include deadlocks and race conditions.
• Provides fully detailed test and runtime analysis reports, which are connected via hyperlink to the relevant source code.

Enables reuse of test scripts between multiple hosts and target platforms

• Allows you to simulate on the host and test for generic bugs when your hardware is not available.
• Executes the same tests directly on the operational platform when the target is available.
• Provides versatile target deployment technology. This allows you to easily adapt your test procedures to almost any target and build environment without having to rewrite your tests.
• Lets you test and debug on the host and across multiple targets using the same test and analysis procedures.
• Provides message-based unit and integration testing of C threads, tasks, processes and nodes.

Supports model-driven testing to improve development efficiency

• Extends model-driven development to include developer testing activities.
• Allows developers to invoke runtime analysis features on code generated from UML models.
• Offers runtime tracing. This uses UML sequence diagrams to illustrate thread execution, function calls and variable values in programs as a function of time.

Integrates with IBM Rational software and third-party tools

• Integrates with IBM Rational Rose® Technical Developer, IBM Rational ClearCase® and IBM Rational ClearQuest®. Also integrates with IBM Rational TestManager, which is part of the IBM Rational Team Unifying Platform.
• Offers other industry-leading tool integrations including plug-ins for MATLAB Simulink, Microsoft Visual Studio and Texas Instruments Code Composer Studio.
