Transform Developer Workflows With the AI Documentation Assistant

In today’s fast-paced software development world, speed, precision, and productivity are everything. Even the most powerful tools can slow down teams—developers get stuck searching for how-to information, prioritizing issues manually, or fixing code without guidance. That’s why Parasoft is transforming the developer’s experience with artificial intelligence—including an AI documentation assistant.

Get Detailed Answers From the AI Documentation Assistant to Boost Productivity

The AI documentation assistant in C/C++test 2025.1 acts as a ChatGPT-like companion for your Parasoft toolchain. This AI assistant delivers clear, contextual answers to questions C/C++ development workflows. Here are just a couple examples:

• How do I suppress a static analysis violation?
• How do I configure MISRA checks in CI/CD?

The answers come with instructions and deep links right inside the IDE. How does this help the team?

• For new team members, this level of detail accelerates onboarding by up to three times!
• For experienced developers, it eliminates interruptions and fosters focus.
• For technical leaders, it translates to higher productivity and a faster return on investment.

Unlike similar offerings in the market, this AI support into your existing development workflow makes our solution instantly accessible without a steep learning curve.

Fine-Tune Quality With AI

An AI document assistant embedded in your IDE does more than boost productivity. It’s a strategic asset. The AI assistant becomes a catalyst for higher-quality software development by:

• Helping developers navigate complex tool scenarios.
• Reducing support dependencies.
• Reinforcing best practices.

The intelligent, real-time assistance empowers every developer to fully utilize static analysis, unit testing, code coverage, and requirement and traceability features. Here are five reasons your development teams can deliver greater value with C/C++test’s AI assistant.

1. Technical Enablement

Teams can leverage C/C++test’s deep capabilities—from enforcing MISRA and CERT rules to supporting structural coverage and performing requirements traceability workflows aligned with standards like ISO 26262 and DO-178C. The AI-based document assistant enhances accessibility to these features by offering real-time guidance. It can explain why a static analysis rule was triggered, what a test coverage report means, or how to set up a test harness.

Developers don’t need to dig through manuals or internal documents. Instead, the AI assistant delivers answers instantly, accelerating understanding and adoption of C/C++test’s advanced functionality.

2. Eliminate Context Switching

Time spent switching between the IDE and external documentation adds up quickly. With an AI assistant available inside the IDE, developers using C/C++test stay focused. Whether they’re asking how to suppress a rule violation, how to link a unit test to a requirement, or how to adjust their coverage settings, the AI assistant delivers contextual answers without leaving the coding environment. This assistance reduces friction, speeds up workflows, and ensures that development continues without interruption.

3. Speed Up Onboarding and Upskilling

Onboarding in regulated industries like automotive, aerospace, and medical devices can be especially demanding. New team members are expected to understand tool configuration, testing strategies, and compliance workflows. An embedded AI assistant acts as a smart tutor, helping developers learn how to write unit tests with Parasoft, interpret test failures, and navigate coverage metrics. This guidance shortens the learning curve and boosts confidence so teams reach full productivity faster.

4. Consistency and Best Practices Across Teams

Development teams often vary in their understanding and use of tools. Our AI assistant promotes consistent use by guiding developers toward established workflows and enforcing best practices. For example, it can inform users how to suppress static analysis rules properly, how to write traceable test cases, or how to generate compliance documentation. This standardization assistance helps ensure uniform quality across the team and reinforces adherence to internal and industry standards.

5. Reduce Support Load

Whether you’re managing an in-house tool champion or relying on Parasoft support, repetitive questions can slow everyone down. The AI assistant handles tier 1 questions like:

• Why did this rule trigger?
• How do I write a test stub?
• Where do I set coverage thresholds?

By resolving common issues directly in the IDE, the AI assistant reduces the need for support tickets and allows your experts to focus on higher level challenges.

Why C/C++test Stands Out

Get best-in-class capabilities for static analysis, unit testing, and code quality in C/C++test. By embedding our AI assistant directly into the IDE, your development team can unlock even greater value from the tool. From accelerating onboarding and ensuring best practices to boosting productivity and simplifying compliance, the AI assistant becomes a trusted advisor, turning C/C++test into an even more intelligent part of the software development life cycle.
