ASD for R&D Managers

ASD: increased productivity, increased control, first time right

For R&D managers ASD:Suite improves your ability to control complex embedded systems software projects and deliver products on time.

The ASD:Suite:

Is a software engineering tool for: Constructing complete and correct industrial scale systems from components mathematically verified during design	Guarantees: Semantic equivalence between specifications, designs, formal models and runtime behaviour of generated code
Provides: Fully automated formal verification of specifications and designs Fully automatic code generation Easy integration into existing software development teams	Is a paradigm shift: Software engineers make specifications and design models and formally verify them instead of coding and testing

Increases control over TQFM* and improves predictability

ASD:Suite ensures that the full behavioural functionality of a software system is captured in its specifications: the mathematics embedded in ASD:Suite guarantees that no behaviour is overlooked. This in turn ensures that Functionality and Quality are nailed down early in a project and consequentially that Time and Money become more predictable.

With conventional design tools, ambiguous and incomplete specifications may not be detected until the test stage. This results in costly redesign or fixes that merely propagate new problems through the system, adding to cost and time to market at a moment when the development budget has mostly been consumed. ASD:Suite eliminates these and many related problems.

First time right

With error free software design, early identification of design problems and up to 95% of code generated automatically, ASD:Suite delivers a 90% reduction in errors at the integration and testing stage. Human error is largely eliminated from the translation of designs into code and from the coding process itself.

ASD:Suite’s mathematical verification techniques are especially good at eliminating the most difficult to detect and often the most expensive problems with concurrent systems at the design stage, resulting in a dramatic decrease in field and service costs.

Increase the productivity of your best people

By reducing the resources needed to produce code and rectify defects, ASD:Suite enables your best people to be more productive. The impact of resource shortages and the complications of outsourcing are reduced.
