Vector Informatik acquires Gimpel Software

Effective March 15, 2022, Vector Informatik, known for the development and testing of automotive electronics and software-based systems, has acquired 100% of the assets of the US company Gimpel Software.

Gimpel Software, founded with the business goal of making life easier for C programmers, has been a leading pioneer in static analysis software since 1985. Vector Informatik has many years of experience in providing dynamic test solutions for embedded and distributed systems, ranging from low-level unit tests to system tests. The acquisition of Gimpel Software adds 'PC-lint Plus', a solution for code-centered static analysis, to the test portfolio.

'PC-lint Plus' is a comprehensive static analysis solution for C and C++ and is used by organizations worldwide to comply with coding guidelines for standards such as MISRA, AUTOSAR and CERT C, identify software defects and vulnerabilities, find potential errors and improve the productivity of software developers. The acquisition also supports Vector Informatik's commitment to industries outside the automotive market. Vector is a global provider of a complete and integrated verification and validation solution for embedded systems in the automotive, avionics, IoT and other industries with safety and validation requirements.

"This acquisition is another building block in Vector's strategy to provide a comprehensive solution for the automated testing of embedded and connected systems. It enables Vector to offer a combined static and dynamic analysis solution," says Thomas Riegraf, CEO of Vector Informatik.
