SEGGER partners with Razorcat on automated embedded-software testing

TESSY is a widely used unit and integration testing tool for embedded software, particularly for safety-related projects. It automates test creation and test cycles, aids test organization and management, and supports a wide range of microcontrollers, compilers, and debuggers.

SEGGER’s software-development tools are well integrated with TESSY. SEGGER Embedded Studio is a full-fledged IDE for embedded-software project management and development. It includes the SEGGER Toolchain, which enables creation of highly optimized firmware as well as direct integration of SEGGER’s J-Link debug probes for debugging and testing on a target. Also included is a core simulator for fast and efficient testing, without the need for hardware.

TESSY supports Embedded Studio projects by allowing users to generate tests based on their existing development setups. Tests are executed in TESSY with J-Run or emSim in order to gather results, and TESSY can automatically start a debug session in Embedded Studio to enable users to analyze failing tests.

With the new partnership, SEGGER and Razorcat build on a well-established foundation and further extend integration, improve the user experience, and provide users with the technical support needed to ensure project success.

“TESSY has a long and successful history with both Embedded Studio and J-Link,” says Michael Wittner, CEO, Razorcat. “We consistently receive very positive feedback on how well the products are integrated and how easy they are to use. This partnership adds significant value for our users, and we’re excited about the opportunities it is going to create.” 

"The collaboration with Razorcat is really going to enhance the ability of both of our companies to better support mutual product users, ensure testing becomes even easier, and expand product integration around flexibility and performance," says Johannes Lask, Product Manager, SEGGER. "We've got some interesting ideas for future enhancements, including integration of our test runner J-Run."
