Overview

PDTP was introduced in 2009 as Parasoft Concerto.^[2][3] The platform generates software reports from routine software development tasks and compiles information from different software testing procedures to provide a summary of the software's codebase. It comes with built-in algorithms that perform various methods of analysis such as aggregated code coverage and change-based testing.^[4]

Features include a user-configurable reporting system with APIs to input data from software development or testing tools, and the ability to integrate with third-party tools.^[5] Reports may be used to monitor and analyze how software is being implemented across multiple builds and aggregated across all software testing practices.^[6]

In 2012, VDC Research awarded PDTP the Software Embeddy for the 2012 DESIGN East show.^[7]

PDTP includes pre-configured templates for:^[8]

• American National Standards Institute 62304 for Medical Device Software Development
• DO-178B
• IEC 61508 & Safety Integrity Level
• U.S. Food and Drug Administration General Principles of Software Validation
• ISO 26262 & ASIL
• Joint Strike Fighter Program
• Safety-critical Software Development
• Motor Industry Research Association
• Safety Integrity Level

The templates combine automated testing with the process recommendations and requirements outlined in common guidelines.^[9]
