Percepio sponsors several Student Racing Car teams with Tracealyzer licenses, mostly in Europe but today we present our first North American team: Purdue Electric Racing.

The Argentinian Air Force has developed a microsatellite, called µSAT-3. And Tracealyzer plays a small but important part in this national satellite project.

The Revolve team plans to compete in Hungary, Austria and Germany this summer.

Last week Percepio released Tracealyzer version 4.3 with many new features, such as a state machine detail view, stack usage analysis and data export. You will also see major performance improvement when working with very large traces.

Are you using Tracealyzer today but find yourself wishing that we should have added that special missing feature? We hear you: over the next few months we are going to enable embedded and IoT developers to do many things themselves, without having to wait for new releases of Tracealyzer.

One of the many free academic licenses for Tracealyzer that Percepio has handed out this year went to Charles Sommer, research engineer on the AAReST project at Caltech in Pasadena, California. AAReST aims to construct a telescope that can be sent up in space in pieces and then assemble itself in orbit.

Computer scientist Edsger Dijkstra once said, “Program testing can be used to show the presence of bugs, but never to show their absence”. No matter how much developers test their software, they just cannot prove that there are no bugs left.
