This week, Wind River rolled out their new Wind River Lab Diagnostics product – a robust system supporting embedded device software quality assurance (SQA). Lab Diagnostics allows geographically dispersed development and QA engineers to instrument and monitor code running on actual hardware from a centralized location, sharing a wide variety of diagnostic information. Our latest feature has the details.

Wind River Lab Diagnostics
The latest version of your system is past primary development and ready for regression testing. You’ve got just a few systems available, and they’re in a lab under the watchful eyes of the hardware development team. Your software development and QA groups are ready with a bevy of regression tests, but access to the working prototype hardware in the lab is the tricky part. Complicating the problem, your developers and QA engineers are scattered across three continents in six different time zones. How do you coordinate use of the hardware for software testing and debug, maintain centralized control of the hardware itself, and keep some level of efficiency in the process?
Many of Wind River’s device software development customers have asked these exact questions, which is why the company is announcing a new set of capabilities called “Wind River Lab Diagnostics” - the latest addition to the “Wind River Management Suite.” Wind River Management Suite’s first installment was called “Wind River Workbench Diagnostics” – a product for creating dynamic instrumentation to help analyze and correct software defects in running systems. The second set of capabilities, “Wind River Field Diagnostics,” was announced mid-2006 and was designed to enable field service engineers to securely collect and manage operational information from deployed devices. That product took the “sensorpoint” technology introduced in Wind River Workbench Diagnostics and made it operate across a network via a client-server scheme. [more]
