Vector and Lauterbach Shorten Time to Market for Safety Critical Applications

Proof of code coverage is essential for safety certification in order to demonstrate the completeness of test cases and ensure that there is no unintended functionality. By combining Lauterbach’s TRACE32® real-time trace with Vector’s VectorCAST testing platform developers can meet the requirements of safety-critical standards such as ISO 26262 and DO‑178C faster and more efficiently: The combination of TRACE32® and VectorCAST enables resource-saving collection of code coverage data directly on the target system – without compromising real-time behavior or development effort.

VectorCAST provides comprehensive support for target systems, architectures and operating systems. By integrating TRACE32® coverage data the need for instrumentation can be reduced and thus the number of necessary builds and test runs minimized.

The joint solution is ideal for automotive, aerospace, medical device as well as railway applications or other regulated industries and supports all relevant coverage metrics for your certification requirements.

Engineers can register for a joint webinar at 9^th of October 2025 to learn how TRACE32® and VectorCAST can help optimize their test strategy, save development time and meet the highest safety standards.

“By combining two leading-edge products in the field of code coverage measurement, developers can bring their products to market even faster”, says Dr. Markus Herdin, Head of Marketing at Lauterbach GmbH. “Our joint solution allows to certify safely with less effort”.

Andreas Horn, Senior Manager for Code Testing Solutions at Vector Informatik GmbH, emphasizes "By reducing instrumentation and minimizing build cycles, the integrated solution helps development teams accelerate verification workflows, while maintaining full traceability and compliance with safety standards."
