Functional testing for critical software
Why choose RapiTest?
- Reduce effort running requirements-based tests on-host & target
- Reduce test authoring effort through easy-to-use test formats
- Manage project artifacts with requirements traceability
- Simplify verification through integration with your CI tool
- Produce evidence for DO-178 and ISO 26262 certification
Why try RapiTest?
RapiTest is a functional testing platform designed for authoring and managing tests for embedded systems, including safety-critical systems testing. RapiTest supports C, C++ and Ada and is qualifiable for DO-178C (including DAL-A) and ISO 26262 applications.
RapiTest has a range of advanced features which empower you to perform efficient unit testing, black box testing and white box testing. Part of the RVS toolsuite, RapiTest integrates with RapiCover, RapiTime and RapiTask to enable the analysis of code coverage, software execution time and task-level scheduling.
Designed to adapt to the way you work, RapiTest integrates with popular third-party tools. For example, RapiTest supports requirements traceability by integrating with requirements management software like Polarion and DOORS via the ReqIF Requirements Interchange Format to support incremental unit testing over your project life cyle.

RapiTest success story
“We approached Rapita looking for a complete end-to-end solution for software verification. Rapita delivered this and has also performed a range of system-level activities.”
RapiTest was used by the Triumph Group to produce evidence for DO-178C certification of their actuation system software. The RVS tools RapiTest and RapiCover were used to automate testing processes to meet DO-178C objectives:
- RapiTest automatically generated and applied functional tests, checked that test results were correct, and verified functional correctness of the source code as described by its requirements.
- RapiCover provided evidence that DO-178C DAL A structural code coverage objectives were met, including 100% modified condition/decision coverage (MC/DC).
This DO-178C DAL A project involved testing several distinct pieces of application software (each with multiple build variants, configurable at compile-time) and a common core layer, comprising an RTOS, board support package, library routines and device drivers.
The software was primarily written in C and C++ and included some components written in assembler. All of the software needed to be tested on an embedded target. The project was “time-is-of-the-essence”.
RapiTest reduced the effort needed to write and run functional tests, analyze results and link tests with their requirements for easier project management and regression testing.
