(openPR) - Wind River Lab Diagnostics Enables Greater Team Productivity and 'Time to Quality'

Wind River announced the availability of Wind River Lab Diagnostics, an enterprise-class software diagnostics solution that enables cross-functional development teams to collaborate on dynamic debugging, testing, and quality assurance (QA) throughout device development. With Lab Diagnostics, Wind River extends Device Software Optimization into the verification and validation phase of the development life cycle, enabling powerful productivity enhancements across the entire pre-release process.

Wind River Lab Diagnostics helps streamline development and testing procedures by:

- Allowing developers to design-in testability and supportability into the operating system running on the device
- Allowing developers to rapidly instrument device software to isolate and correct problems without modifying the application source code, rebuilding and re-flashing boards, or stopping the device
- Enabling fact-based analysis of software defects, eliminating much of the guess- work and time developers traditionally spend trying to reproduce intermittent problems
- Pushing software to the extreme, application-specific conditions it may encounter in the field, and to observe and fine-tune its behavior before releasing it to the marketplace
- Creating a living library of device data that will expedite support and inform future product iterations, even when the original development team has moved on.

Availability
Wind River Lab Diagnostics is available worldwide as part of the Wind River Device Management product line for a growing list of platforms and architectures. Current platform support includes VxWorks 6.X operating system running most PowerPC and Intel Architecture processors, VxWorks 5.5.1 on PowerPC and Wind River Linux 1.4 operating system on PowerPC and Intel Architecture processors.
