Highlights of Squore 2020

Simplified Monitoring with a New Timeline for Project's Tasks Quick and Synthetic View of Project Milestones Better Confidence with New Data Completion Checking Integration with vTESTstudio and CANoe for Seamless Monitoring of Complex Systems Further integration with VectorCast Flexible report generation

Simplified Monitoring with a New Timeline for Project's Tasks

Refining the complete refurbishing of the home screen started in 2019, a new timeline was added to ease the follow-up of project's tasks.

The timeline contains information on tasks executed on a project such as new builds, deleted versions or changes applied.
It also provides easy access to logs and build dates.

显示更多

Quick and Synthetic View of Project Milestones

This new table centralizes in a single place the list of detailed goals by milestone, throughout the different versions of a project.

This allows user to:

Obtain an immediate and synthetic view of all goals associated to each milestone.
Be able to come back to earlier versions of the project to compare the evolutions of goals over time.
Gain in-depth understanding of Squore trend charts checking project progress towards objectives.

Better Confidence with New Data Completion Checking

To ensure full transparency and confidence in Squore results, parsing problems, if any, are now highlighted.

Available in the"Code Quality" dashboard, the new "Partial code parsing" table lists the number of files with parsing errors.
When a file is partially analyzed, its rating becomes "unknown", since the rating can't be fully computed, as some of its content could not be fully parsed.
The overall rating becomes more reliable, as files with inaccurate ratings has been excluded.

Integration with vTESTstudio and CANoe for Seamless Monitoring of Complex Systems

Meeting real industrial needs, Squore connects with vTESTstudio and CANoe to close the loop and ensure full traceability between requirements, test specifications and test results.

Fully automated workflow in 3 steps

Automated ECU tests are designed and created with vTESTstudio
Tests defined in vTESTstudio are configured and loaded in CANoe and executed in real-time
Squore automatically integrates all requirements and test data from vTESTstudio and CANoe

Squore becomes the Unified Analytics Dashboard for vTESTstudio and CANoe

New "Requirement Satisfaction" KPI by calculating multi-level requirements tests coverage from test results
Trend analysis and anticipation with visual identification of the impact of requirements volatility upon tests results

Quick detection of outliers artifacts with highlights features and powerful graphs (ex: unstable tests, requirement with failed tests, requirement with no tests…)
Project review environment via Squore GUI (Ex: ability to validate a requirement despite failed test)

Further integration with VectorCast with complementary views of code coverage

This new step in the integration between Squore and VectorCAST provides different and complementary views of source code coverage.

For C language projects with code coverage from VectorCAST, it is now possible to visualize paths executed on the source code and on the control graph.
On the sample below, covered paths are in green and uncovered are in red:
