C/C++TEST CAPABILITIES
Parasoft’s C/C++test is the fully integrated software testing solution for embedded safety-critical industries. Its automated software testing capabilities are also made for today’s high-velocity Agile DevOps environments.
It integrates tightly into your C and C++ IDE, CI/CD pipeline, and containerized deployments to detect defects earlier and automatically enforce compliance with industry standards.
Apply the most comprehensive set of source code analysis techniques (pattern-based analysis, data flow analysis, abstract interpretation, metrics, and so on) and verify code quality with the latest industry standards, like MISRA C 2023, MISRA C++ 2023, AUTOSAR C++ 14, and more.
C/C++ Static AnalysisIsolate code functions or units of code through stubbing, where developers can quickly build robust unit tests and/or autogenerate unit tests that ensure code safety, security, and reliability. Execute these tests in any cross-platform, host, virtual, or hardware target environment.
C/C++ Unit TestingCollect code coverage as part of the continuous integration (CI) process and the developer desktop workflow. This is typically done through unit testing, system testing, manual testing, and all other test execution methods used, including testing on target hardware.
C/C++ Code CoverageMonitor your running application, detecting runtime-related problems like memory leaks, memory corruption, reading uninitialized memory, and buffer overflows that could lead to stability issues, unpredictable behavior, and security vulnerabilities. Use predefined test configurations to support both native and embedded applications with C-style memory allocations (malloc or free).
C/C++ Runtime AnalysisApply the most comprehensive set of source code analysis techniques (pattern-based analysis, data flow analysis, abstract interpretation, metrics, and more) and verify code quality with the latest industry standards, like CERT C, CERT C++, CWE, OWASP, and others.
C/C++ Security TestingAutomate static analysis, unit testing, and code coverage to satisfy functional safety standards with TÜV SÜD-certified C/C++test. Also automate the verification and validation requirements defined in process standards like automotive (ISO 26262, ISO 21434), military/aerospace (DO-178C DAL-A), medical (IEC 62304), industrial automation (IEC 61508), rail (EN 50128), and others.
