Code Coverage for Space

RapiCover provides an efficient solution for code coverage testing for the space industry. As the gold standard for coverage testing, RapiCover supports the development of mission and safety-critical software. RapiCover’s advanced features reduce the effort needed to verify space software both on-host and on-target and minimize project risk.

Why is code coverage analysis important for Space systems?

Whether your project is mission and/or safety critical, ensuring that your embedded software does not have any unintended functionality is important to ensure success.

How has RapiCover been used in the space industry?

RapiCover has been successfully adopted by leading space projects to automatically collect and analyze structural coverage metrics.

Most recently, we have worked closely with the University of Alcalá to perform code coverage analysis on the European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter satellite program.

Why do space programs choose RapiCover?

RapiCover is an advanced coverage analysis tool that offers users powerful features that can reduce the time and effort needed for coverage testing, and reduce project risk.

One of our space industry customers, Anders Edfors, Attitude and Orbit Control Systems Specialist at OHB Sweden, said the following:

Rapita’s structural coverage analysis solution increased our end-to-end test speed by ~40% when compared with our previous approach

Discover some of RapiCover’s time-saving features:
