First Impressions™
Is the first industry standard for gauging the functionality and user-friendliness of software development tools for embedded systems––before certification.
First Impressions™ identifies problem areas and provides you a road map for correcting them before costing you potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars. First Impressions™ focuses on Product Analysis and Competitive Analysis with an eye on Feature, Content, and Quality (FC&Q). First Impressions™ gives you both quantitative and qualitative feedback on the tools. Our 50-60 page report explores all aspects of the tools - from Documentation and Packaging to Compiler Code Quality and Debugger Usability, from Web and Phone Support to Simulator Accuracy and Capabilities. At the end of this, if you meet our quality standards, you are eligible for the Synchromesh Seal of Approval !
First Impressions™ is an evaluation process that analyzes:
– quality and functionality
– ease of use for SDK's according to a uniform set of criteria including compilers, debuggers, profilers, etc.
– documentation testing
– product and web site support
– performance
