  • Identifies coding defects at the earlier possible stage in the development cycle
  • Dataflow analysis to catch bugs
  • Improves code reliability, maintainability, portability, re-usability and testability
  • Demonstrate compliance to coding rule sets and coding standards, including MISRA C
  • Very precise diagnostic information (and extensive help text) for developers to identify defects, analyze the root causes and implement fixes
  • Diagnostics, metrics and visualisations to improve the effectiveness of code reviews
  • Automated code inspection provides instant, object, repeatable code audits
  • Minimal false positives, saving time, money and key experienced resources

Technical overview

  • Component-based, plugin architecture
  • Two user interfaces
    • cross-platform graphical user interface with integrated source code editor,
