The gold standard for safety-critical software verification and standards compliance automation.
Cantata automates unit and integration testing for embedded C/C++ to accelerate standards compliance and reduce software failure risks.

Cantata by QA Systems is an automated unit and integration testing tool designed for C and C++ languages, enabling developers to verify standard-compliant or business-critical code on both host-native and embedded target platforms. It streamlines compliance with dynamic testing requirements by automating the generation of C and C++ unit testing frameworks, test execution, results diagnostics, and report generation. Cantata integrates with a wide array of embedded development toolchains, including compilers, static analysis tools, and build and requirements management systems. Its user-friendly Eclipse GUI, close tool integrations, and the ability to write tests directly in C/C++ source code contribute to its ease of use. Cantata is employed by industries requiring high software safety standards compliance to cut testing costs and reduce the risk of software failures.
