Take a faster, smarter path to AI-driven C/C++ test automation. Discover how >>
Get a comprehensive, automated testing framework specifically designed to satisfy DO-178C objectives with Parasoft C/C++ testing solutions. Deliver safer, more reliable C and C++ applications.
Parasoft has implemented a lot of common-sense solutions to the problems posed by DO-178 and DO-330, and the vast majority of the time they worked out of the box with no issues, unlike any of these other tools.
Satisfy DO-178C objectives by automating verification and validation methods like code reviews, requirements traceability, static analysis, unit testing, code coverage, and more. Reduce development costs and accelerate certification timelines while maintaining safety compliance.
Automatically examine your source code using Parasoft’s powerful code analysis engine for early detection of potential errors, security vulnerabilities, and coding standard violations, without executing the code.
Parasoft provides compliance support for aviation-specific and general coding standards, ensuring robust and reliable C and C++ applications.
Integrate compliance with security coding rules and guidelines from standards like CWE, CERT, OWASP, and DISA ASD STIG into your static analysis processes to ensure robust software security for airborne systems.
Parasoft’s control flow analysis recognizes the possible execution paths through a program and how control moves from one part of the code to another. This helps detect potential issues related to the program’s logic, flow, structure, and much more.
Our data flow analysis allows for a deeper understanding of the program’s behavior on how data is used, modified, and passed around in the code, helping identify issues like unused variables, injection vulnerabilities, XSS, exposure of sensitive data, and more.
Augment static analysis with walkthroughs or the Code Review module. Designed to make peer reviews more practical and productive by automating preparation, notification, and tracking, our solution automatically identifies updated code, matches it with designated reviewers, and tracks the progress of each review item until closure.
Parasoft incorporates artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve productivity in your team’s static analysis workflow, flagging and prioritizing the violations that need to be fixed first. If using VS Code editor, apply our C/C++test extension and leverage Parasoft’s AI assistant to explain static analysis violations and receive suggestions for fixing them.
Our comprehensive software testing framework for C and C++ supports unit testing, integration testing, system testing, and more. The framework automates test creation and involves running the program with various inputs and configurations to detect issues that manifest during execution.
Isolate the unit to be tested with automated stubbing framework and mocks to validate that each unit performs as expected and to ensure that it behaves correctly for a variety of inputs, including cases where the dependent code is unavailable.
Auto test case generation automatically creates test cases, including edge cases and error conditions, that manually written tests for C and C++ code might not cover. This enhances the testing process by reducing manual effort, ensuring consistency, and increasing test coverage.
Fulfill all DO-178C code coverage requirements with Parasoft’s support for various coverage types, including statement, branch, MC/DC, and assembly or object code. These coverage types and others help ensure code safety, security, and reliability by identifying untested code, dead code, and potential defects.
Automate and ensure DO-178C bidirectional traceability between requirements, test cases, test results, source code, and code reviews meet DO-178C objectives and ensure compliance.
Automatically track DO-178C compliance and generate reports to demonstrate adherence to specific regulatory and organizational standards with our dynamic reporting dashboard. It also supports advanced reporting strategies using historical data, even for large codebases and legacy code where visibility is typically challenging.
Our static analysis, unit testing, regression testing, code coverage, and requirements traceability integrate easily into your CI/CD pipeline. Teams can also integrate some of these capabilities into other testing frameworks like GoogleTest for continuous testing, enabling the delivery of safe, secure, and reliable code, while streamlining compliance with DO-178C standards.
Parasoft’s C/C++ testing solutions include tool qualification kits for validating their use in safety-critical applications across any development ecosystem. These kits automate the assessment of our static analysis, unit testing, and code coverage capabilities to ensure they meet compliance requirements defined by DO-330 and DO-178C.
Overall, the user experience was above and beyond what we expected from the competition.
It took WEEKS with other tools to get our codebase properly instrumented, and extract coverage from the target. With Parasoft, it took me 16 hours across two work days, and I ran into very few issues that were the fault of the tool. Parasoft has implemented a lot of common-sense solutions to the problems posed by DO-178 and DO-330, and the vast majority of the time they worked out of the box with no issues, unlike any of these other tools.
