Availability of Ada and C++ Compilers, Tools, Education and Training

Abstract

The DoD is in the process of gathering information on the status of market offerings for software engineering environments. This paper identifies and analyzes (1) compiler and computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tools that support the software engineering process for applications written in the Ada and C++ programming languages, and (2) associated training and education available for each language. The primary focus was on business systems; application domains such as artificial intelligence, computer-aided design/ computer-aided manufacturing, and embedded systems were excluded. Only commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products from U.S. vendors were considered. The data provided will be used by the DoD in the development of a business case to determine whether any waivers to the Ada requirement for business systems may be warranted.
