Static Analysis

🧪 Static Code Analysis: Improve Code Quality and Ensure Compliance

In today’s increasingly connected and safety-critical software environments, organizations must ensure their code not only performs well but also complies with stringent industry standards. From embedded automotive systems to medical devices and avionics, the need for robust code verification has never been greater.

🔍 Static Analysis: Build Better Code from the Ground Up

Static analysis involves examining source code without executing it. This allows early detection of bugs, unsafe constructs, and violations of coding standards—helping developers write clean, maintainable, and compliant code from the start.

Tools like LDRA static analysis offer comprehensive rule-checking for C and C++, validating code against major industry standards such as:

• MISRA C/C++
• CERT
• CWE
• AUTOSAR
• BARR
• FACE
• …and more

Integrating these checks early in the development lifecycle reduces technical debt, prevents defects, and improves long-term code quality.
