WILSONVILLE, Ore., Feb. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Mentor
Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ: MENT) has further expanded its Mentor Safe
functional safety assurance program with the addition of
ReqTracer™, an industry-standard line of software tools for
requirements management and tracking. Achieving the highest
possible tool confidence level as a standalone tool, ReqTracer is
now qualified for use in safety-critical ISO 26262 designs and
verification flows at all criticality levels up to and including
ASIL D.
Mentor Safe is one of the industry's broadest and most
comprehensive ISO 26262 qualification and certification programs,
established to help automotive and industrial customers rapidly
navigate the increasingly complex process of functional safety
certification with confidence. In addition to ReqTracer, the Mentor
Safe program includes Tessent® silicon test and yield analysis
tools, the Nucleus® SafetyCert™ real time operating system, the
Volcano® VSTAR AUTOSAR operating system and BSW stack, and a
growing array of ISO 26262 certified documentation and
qualification reports for Mentor tools supporting the design,
verification and test of system-on-chip (SoC) applications and
vehicle electronics system
design.
"As demand continues to grow for sophisticated autonomous drive
capabilities, automotive systems engineers must deliver
unprecedented innovation while still adhering to the industry's
stringent functional safety requirements," said Brian Derrick, vice president and general
manager at Mentor Graphics. "The Mentor Safe program helps our
customers meet these competing directives by providing the
technology, documentation and support necessary for success in the
era of increasingly complex vehicle architectures."
The ReqTracer solution provides significant advantages for all
projects, and particularly for automotive and other safety-critical
applications. The tool automatically traces requirements from
multiple sources throughout the design process. It simplifies
report generation, provides real-time insights for managing
requirements change impacts, and generates customized documentation
that streamlines design review and audit cycles. This automated
approach allows project teams to focus on implementation and
verification, and more quickly achieve verification closure.
Mentor is a long-established automotive systems supplier,
engaged with nearly every leading OEM and Tier 1 supplier, and
providing design tools and embedded software in the areas of
connectivity, electrification, autonomous drive and vehicle
architecture. The company's distinguished track record in supplying
