I just looked the 1996 Ada Resource Catalog and it lists in Tools section
56 vendors (I toke some dublicates away). Its Business Index has 102
entries (of which I counted c. 80 to be commercial companies).

So, the suggested 6 does not represent a good coverage of the Ada industry.

Someone also asked to list at least three Ada test tools vendors (was it in
this thread?). To help you in this a bit, and if interested to learn what
one such vendor has to offer, please take a look the URL

   http://www.testwell.sci.fi

You will find there descriptions of TBGEN (a test harnessing tool for unit
testing) and TCMON (a code coverage/execution profiling tool). There are
descriptions of some our C/C++ test tools as well...
