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... - Olavi -------------------- Code hard, test well! ------------------------------- Olavi Poutanen Email(1): olavip@cs.tut.fi Testwell Oy (Ltd) Email(2): olavip@sci.fi Hermiankatu 8 URL: http://www.testwell.sci.fi FIN-33720 Tampere Tel: +358-3-316-5464 Finland Fax: +358-3-318-3311 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
