When lives are at stake, there's no margin for error. Critical software bugs such as security vulnerabilities and quality defects are simply unacceptable in safety-critical systems like vehicle telematics, defense and medical devices. Yet, software development teams are under many of the same pressures as those in commodity industries. They must reduce costs without compromising quality, reliability, safety or speed.
Klocwork's static source code analysis products help embedded software development teams to improve software reliability and security, and to reduce the cost of defects right at the source: the developer's desktop. Klocwork provides the best assurances that critical bugs never make it from the developer desktop into the code stream – and does so with higher efficiency than any other alternative.
Early Testing for Higher Quality
By enabling developers to identify and fix critical bugs of all kinds while they are working, Klocwork static analysis makes it possible for safety-critical manufacturers and their suppliers to conduct early testing for serious, crash-causing defects in code. This can be done at compile time, well before any integration, module or unit tests begin.
Static analysis does not require code execution so there is no need to setup a multitude of production scenarios and settings, and test cases are not needed. By the time the development team is ready to test all software components, serious coding defects will be removed, enabling more efficient functional and performance testing.
Enabling Regulatory Compliance
Safety-critical embedded systems manufacturers can face crippling costs when software fails in the field, as well as being subject to regulatory compliance in many industries. Klocwork Insight can assist organizations in addressing many of these requirements and it helps organizations to demonstrate that they are:
