TASKING acquires LDRA
TASKING has announced the acquisition of 100% of LDRA, a provider of software tools for code analysis and software testing for safety-, mission, security- and business-critical markets.
LDRA has been a privately owned company with a team of more than 100 employees distributed across the United Kingdom (headquarters), United States, India and Germany. LDRA’s tools achieve early error identification and elimination by enabling bi-directional requirements traceability, static and dynamic code analysis, and unit- and system-level verification on a wide variety of hardware and software platforms. LDRA’s extensive reporting capabilities help critical application development teams to mitigate risk and demonstrate compliance to functional safety and security standards. LDRA’s certification services complement the LDRA tool suite offering with industry-specific subject matter expertise.
The integration of LDRA technologies further enhance TASKING’s safety- and security-oriented software ecosystem and broadens its capabilities as a trusted partner for embedded software development tools and services. LDRA’s impressive portfolio of software tools that automate code analysis and software testing for safety-, mission-, security, and business-critical markets is highly complementary to TASKING’s existing high-quality, functional safety-certified embedded software development tools and compilers.
“TASKING and LDRA have worked together in a trustful partnership for many years,” says Ian Hennell, Operations Director at LDRA. “We look forward to taking this collaboration to the next level. With the combination of our product portfolios, we enhance the customer experience. Together, we speed development and verification of critical embedded applications using industry best practices even on the most complex applications that leverage multicore processors.”
“With the acquisition of LDRA, we offer our customers a comprehensive portfolio to support the software development for safety-critical applications in a wide range of markets, including aerospace and automotive,” confirms Gregor Zink, CEO of TASKING.
