TechMatrix Launches "C/C++test CT" Unit Testing Tool for Functional Safety Development Utilizing GoogleTest

TechMatrix Corporation (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Takaharu Yai; hereinafter referred to as "TechMatrix") will begin sales of "C/C++test CT 2025.2", a C/C++ language testing tool developed by Parasoft Corporation (Headquarters: California, USA; CEO: Elizabeth Konawa; hereinafter referred to as "Parasoft"), on March 30, 2026.

C/C++test CT supports the utilization of GoogleTest in safety- and security-critical software development for automotive, industrial equipment, medical devices, and more. Its features, such as "code coverage measurement" and "traceability assurance" in unit testing, enable efficient compliance with functional safety standards. Furthermore, C/C++test CT includes GoogleTest as a package and has been tool-certified by the third-party certification body TÜV SÜD as a complete solution, guaranteeing the "operational safety and reliability" of C/C++test CT and its bundled GoogleTest. Additionally, it is equipped with an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server as an AI integration feature, enabling smooth tool utilization in conjunction with AI agents.

In recent years, with the increase in modern C++ development, the demand for using GoogleTest (an open-source unit testing framework for C++) has been extremely high. Its adoption is growing across various industries, including the automotive sector, due to reasons such as its ease of integration with complex build systems (like Bazel and CMake) and CI/CD pipelines, lower adoption and training costs as many developers have experience with GoogleTest, and reduced costs for test case creation and maintenance. On the other hand, the use of testing tools in software development requiring functional safety compliance necessitates tool qualification or tool certification before development begins. As open-source GoogleTest offers no support for tool certification or certification kits, users must invest significant time and cost themselves to prepare documentation verifying usage history and the validity of execution results for tool qualification. Against this backdrop, Parasoft developed and began selling C/C++test CT as a solution to address the challenges of functional safety compliance with GoogleTest.

As the domestic general sales agent for Parasoft products, TechMatrix will strengthen its sales, marketing, and user support activities for C/C++test CT as the optimal tool to solve the challenges of all customers involved in software development.

【Features and Characteristics of C/C++test CT】

Acquired Tool Certification for GoogleTest, Supporting Use in Functional Safety Development

C/C++test CT includes GoogleTest, which has obtained tool certification, as a package, and the entire solution has been tool-certified by the third-party certification body TÜV SÜD.

C/C++test CT adopts a new approach by providing a certified GoogleTest.

Using a tool without certification for the unit testing framework itself can lead to incorrect test results due to internal framework defects, even if the unit tests themselves are written correctly.
