The Spectra Product Family

Spectra CX (v3.2 announced today)

Model-based Software Engineering (MBSE) developer productivity tool (Requirements ↔ Model ↔ Validate ↔ Generate ↔ Develop ↔ Execute ↔ Test)

Spectra OE (look out for our July 2010 webcast)

SCA Operating (deployment) Environment (ORB, COS, CF)

Spectra DTP (announced April 2010, June 2010 webcast)

A pre-packaged application development and test platform (BB, IF, and RF hardware, OE, SCA devices and services, demo app, tools optional)

Spectra’s Competitive Advantage

Spectra CXBest-in-class SCA developer productivity

Spectra OEBest-in-class SCA software platform performance

Spectra DTPBest-in-class SCA feature set, ease-of-use, price

Problem StatementDeveloping SCA applications software is too complex, too expensive, too time consuming, and forces me to become an expert in numerous SCA technologies when I just want to develop, test, validate, and deploy new SCA waveforms

Solution StatementA best-in-class COTS model-driven development tool that supports complete round-trip SCA engineering; allowing me to start developing application code immediately with highly-productive requirements, modelling, code generation, code validation, and deployment assistance featuresRound-trip engineering experience where the model stays the source of the project

Introducing Spectra CX v3.2

Spectra CX Features and Benefits

Spectra CX (SCX) is a model-driven development tool that simplifies, accelerates, and validates a significant proportion of the SCA development processRequirements

Use UML2 to capture the requirements of the system

Copyright PrismTech 2010

Model Powerful visual representation of SCA concepts ensures that every project team member has a global understanding of the system and can produce correct SCA artifacts

SCX supports modeling of components, applications (waveforms), devices, platforms, and deployment of waveforms on target platforms

ValidateSCX allows developers to produce SCA compliant software from day one

Validation is built right into SCX providing automatic identification of errors in SCA-compliant radio platforms and waveform applications

GeneratePush-button generation of the complete set of correct-by-construction descriptor files and documentation. Development time can be reduced from months to days

Automated generation of code implementing SCA component structure is provided through Spectra’s Code Generators. They automate the production of both SCA application code and SCA device code

DevelopSpectra CX provides developers with a complete model-based development environment that will significantly reduce the time to develop and maintain their components

Seamless integration with the Eclipse IDE allows developers to use their preferred tools for developing and managing source code that is linked to the model of the waveform

SCX supports the integration of behavioral models created by 3rd party UML, Block Diagram, and State Chart design tools

ExecuteSCX’s runtime monitor allows users to inspect an application in real-time

With runtime monitoring, developers can see if the deployment they expected to have is actually the one dynamically created by the CF

TestAutomated testing of components and subsystems of an application (waveform) is provided with SCX, through the SCX SCA Test add-in

SCX SCA Test allows users to generate, compile and execute test code, and view test results directly from the toolset - on host and target systems

Introducing Spectra CX v3.2

Demonstration #1

Requirements ↔ Model ↔ Validate ↔ Generate ↔ Develop ↔ Execute ↔ Test

Spectra CX is more than an SCA design tool

Spectra CX includes as standard – UML2 Modelling

UML2 modelling can be used for:Capturing various requirements e.g. user, system, design and implementation

User requirements of the SCA Radio

Design requirements of the worker/functional/logical code inside an SCA Resource, Device or Service

DemonstrationUML2 diagrams and their integration in Spectra CX

Demonstration #1 – SCA and UML2 Modelling

Introducing Spectra CX v3.2

Demonstration #2

Requirements ↔ Model ↔ Validate ↔ Generate ↔ Develop ↔ Execute ↔ Test

SCX’s complete round-trip design ensures that the model remains the source of the projectThe source code editor is integrated with the model enabling true model-driven development (MDD) of WaveformsDemonstration

How to add User/Worker source code to an SCA ResourceWhere that source code is storedHow SCX manages changes to the SCA model and regeneration of SCA code whilst not losing the added User/Worker code

Demonstration #2 – Adding User or Worker Code

What’s New in Spectra CX v3.2? Features Platform Support

What’s New

Feature Descriptions

XML Validation and Reporting

US Coding Standards Support

Unit Test Generation

Spectra 2 Compatibility

Native/Non-Native Exceptions

Platform Support

XML Validation and Reporting

Added an XML-based validator for SCA XML and DTD files

In addition to the current model-based validation

The validator currently supports 77 rules which apply to the SCA 2.2.2 specificationInvoked by choosing 'Validate' from the Project Explorer's context menuThe validation results can be viewed in the 'SCA XML Problems' view

US Coding Standards Support

Code generators now comply with the following US coding standards:

All variables must be initialized All exceptions must be treated.  Examples:

checking return values for function calls"else" case for every “if” statement If there's an exception to a standard, a code comment will be generated justifying the exception 

No use of explicitly declared memory locations or addressesGlobal variables shall not be usedAll register references, constant loop counters, etc., shall use symbolic names. No hard coded reference to any constant value should take place

Unit Test Generation

Added JUnit test generation for LifeCycle, PortSupplier, PropertySet, ResourceFactory, Resource and Device interfacesSupports ‘in-cycle’ unit testing of generated source code

if required, in advance of radio platform availability

Shifts detection and rectification of defects out of run-time test and integration and into design-time

Increases productivity gains

Provides a framework for full coverage and potentially provides hundreds of tests.

Other 3.2 Features

Spectra 2 IDL pre-processor compatibilityOffers an improved IDL pre-processor which provides support for handling pre-processor directives on IDL import

3.2.1 Features

Native/Non-Native ExceptionsProvides developers with the choice of using C++ native exceptions or inserting their own code for return code handling
