Parasoft Corporation, leading provider of automated solutions and infrastructure services that improve software quality and the development process, today announced that TÜV SÜD certified the latest version of Parasoft C/C++test to be qualified for safety-related software development according to IEC 61508 and ISO 26262 standards. Parasoft® C/C++test™ is an integrated solution for automating a broad range of best practices proven to improve software development team productivity and software quality for C and C++.
Safety functions are increasingly being carried out by electrical, electronic, or programmable electronic systems. These systems are usually complex, making it impossible in practice to fully determine every failure mode or to test all possible behavior. Although it is difficult to predict the safety performance, testing is still essential. The challenge is to design the system in such a way as to prevent dangerous failures or to control them when they arise. With this trend of increasing complexity, software content, and mechatronic implementation, there are rising risks of systematic failures and random hardware failures. IEC 61508 and its derivatives (e.g. IEC 61513, IEC 62061) as well as ISO 26262 - the upcoming adaptation of the IEC 61508 for automotive electric/electronic systems - include guidance to reduce these risks to a tolerable level by providing feasible requirements and processes. Parasoft C/C++test helps software development teams to develop and verify safety-related software in compliance with IEC 61508 or ISO 26262 and achieve the desired safety integration level (SIL/ASIL). A broad range of analysis types—including coding standards compliance static analysis, data and control flow static analysis, unit testing, application monitoring, workflow components, and automated peer code review process—together with the configurable test reports containing high level of details, significantly facilitates the work required for the software verification process.
