In an era where embedded software developers draw heavily on components provided by suppliers or the open-source community, or acquired as commercial libraries, the complexity of integrating these components with code developed in-house continues to increase.
Experience has shown that in today’s challenging environment, demanding schedules result in insufficient time for developers to test thoroughly; adding headcount late in the project doesn’t help, and applying testing technology without a scalable quality process or verification strategy is ineffective.
| In order to address these endemic problems, S2 Technologies (S2), created its Verification-as-Services model, a strategic solution that frees organizations from the day-to-day management responsibility for software test and verification. |
VaS leverages the strongest aspects of the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model popularized by Salesforce.com and applies a service model designed specifically for embedded software verification. VaS eliminates the need for an organization to manage a large staff of test and verification engineers, because S2 provides the required resources and domain expertise. At the same time VaS is a secure, flexible solution that seamlessly fits into the customer’s environment.
With S2’s VaS model, you will get a complete verification solution that:
- Provides comprehensive test coverage without draining valuable developer resources
- Is affordable, with monthly fees based on your testing objectives
