Enforce MISRA-C and MISRA-C++ coding standards

The Motor Industry Software Reliability Association (MISRA) coding standards provides guidance to the automotive industry (as well as many others) to help facilitate safe and reliable coding practices for safety-critical embedded software. Klocwork provides built-in, automated detection and reporting for MISRA-C:2004 and MISRA-C++:2008. With our tools, MISRA coding standard violations can be reported automatically at the developer desktop, integration build and through our peer code review solution. Combined with Klocwork's leading defect detection capabilities, customers can implement defect detection and coding standard enforcement using just one tool.

Ensuring the software that drives our diagnostics and onboard systems for the automotive industry is MISRA compliant is an important milestone in our development process. The unique combination of critical defect detection and MISRA support offered by Klocwork is one of the key reasons we choose their static analysis solution.

Ensure ISO-26262 compliance

ISO-26262 is a Functional Safety standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is targeted at road vehicle safety. The standard is based heavily on the Functional Safety standard IEC 61508 for Automotive Electric/Electronic Systems, covering numerous activities and processes in the software development cycle.

Klocwork provides capabilities that can be used to achieve compliance in Part 6 of the standard, with approximately 20 requirements defined by ISO that can be supported using Klocwork's source code analysis. For more details on each guideline and a description of Klocwork's support, read this overview.

Shaping the Future of Automotive Software Quality

With millions of lines of code embedded in vehicle electronics, automobiles are just as susceptible to system crashes, viruses and hacks as your standard PC. So ensuring that automotive software is free of security vulnerabilities and defects is critical to the safety of today's vehicles.

As members of the GENIVI® Alliance, Klocwork is lending its expertise in ensuring software security and reliability to a rapidly growing and highly software-dependent sector of the automotive industry. Learn more.
