Subject: RE: Ada Test Tools
Date: 7 Feb 91 20:26:08 GMT	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1991Feb7.202608.771@IDA.ORG> (raw)


The following is in response to a recent request for information
regarding tools to assist in the testing of Ada software.  We are just
beginning to collect such information.  In the future, we may be doing
an evaluation of several of these tools.  This information is not
currently not complete, but may still be of use.

We are not recommending any of these tools, we are simply collecting
information on them.  If you have additional information on these or
other tools, experience with such tools, etc., please let us know.
As you can see, some of the information is skimpy.
