Bridging GoogleTest Unit Testing & Compliance in Safety-Critical Software

GoogleTest has become one of the most widely adopted unit testing frameworks for C and C++ development. Its flexibility, familiarity, and strong developer adoption make it a popular choice across industries. But for organizations developing safety- and security-critical embedded software, using open-source testing frameworks introduces additional challenges around compliance, traceability, structural coverage, and certification readiness. In this webinar, industry experts discuss how engineering teams can successfully leverage GoogleTest while meeting the rigorous verification and compliance requirements of modern safety-critical software development. Join Chris Rommel, Executive Vice President at VDC Research, along with Parasoft experts Arthur Hicken and Ricardo Camacho, as they explore practical strategies for scaling GoogleTest workflows in regulated environments without disrupting developer productivity. ---------------- What You'll Learn: • Why GoogleTest has become a leading framework for embedded C and C++ unit testing • Common challenges when using GoogleTest in safety-critical development environments • How to address structural coverage requirements, including statement, branch, and MC/DC coverage • Why traceability and audit readiness are essential for compliance initiatives • Where compliance gaps can emerge when relying solely on open-source testing workflows • How TÜV SÜD-certified GoogleTest helps support functional safety requirements • How to extend GoogleTest workflows while preserving familiar developer experiences • How modern teams can balance open-source innovation with regulatory compliance ---------------- Whether you're developing automotive, aerospace, medical, industrial, rail, or defense software, this session provides practical guidance for modernizing embedded verification workflows, improving software quality, and reducing certification risk. As embedded software complexity continues to grow—and AI-assisted development accelerates change—organizations need testing strategies that support both engineering efficiency and compliance confidence. 👉 *Ready to modernize GoogleTest workflows for safety-critical development?* Learn how Parasoft helps teams extend GoogleTest for compliance, coverage, traceability, and certification readiness: https://www.parasoft.com/products/par... 👉 *Want to see it in action?* Request a personalized demo and speak with a Parasoft expert: https://www.parasoft.com/products/par... ---------------- DO YOU HAVE MORE QUESTIONS? *Talk to a Solutions Expert ➡️* https://prsft.co/3ShHPpm *Request Product Demo ➡️* https://prsft.co/3KtYQuK Explore More Resources: Software Testing Resources ➡️ https://prsft.co/3YPGOqR Software Testing Blog ➡️ https://prsft.co/3EQpIS3 Notable Customers ➡️ https://prsft.co/3EreTFu Industries ➡️ https://prsft.co/3XSq2q2 Products ➡️ https://prsft.co/3XOsLRj Solutions ➡️ https://prsft.co/3m0LYC4 ---------------- Stay Connected: LinkedIn ☑️ https://prsft.co/3m1o2hC Twitter ☑️ https://prsft.co/3xGZI7k Facebook ☑️ https://prsft.co/3YToPjk --- About Parasoft Parasoft helps organizations deliver high-quality software at speed with a comprehensive suite of automated testing tools.
