LONDON, Nov. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- QA-MISRA is the tailor-made answer to current and future static analysis market requirements. This new tool is the product of a cooperation between QA Systems and AbsInt - partners who both have many years of expertise in the field.

The earlier in the development cycle software errors are identified, the less expensive it is to fix them. It is optimal if errors do not even occur or are detected immediately. This is an important experience that developers gain repeatedly: The earlier, the better.

Therefore, the cooperation partner of QA Systems, AbsInt, has developed a static checker for coding rules. The tool is now distributed exclusively by QA Systems under the name QA-MISRA. "We know the market and the people involved," says Andreas Sczepansky, Managing Director of QA Systems GmbH in Waiblingen, Germany.

QA-MISRA already checks for over 900 potential software errors in source code. Through static analysis with QA-MISRA, dangerous structures as well as problems with security, maintenance and porting can easily be found at an early stage. This is how developers reduce future costs.

QA-MISRA analyses extensive and complex software packages very quickly, regardless of the size of the codebase. This simplifies quality management and helps you comply with the relevant safety-standards. "After many years of involvement in working groups of the MISRA consortium, we have created a convenient tool for efficient checking of coding guidelines, which has been maximally aligned to the needs of customers, with the help of the experts from QA Systems," says Dr.-Ing. Christian Ferdinand, Managing Director of AbsInt GmbH in Saarbrücken.

QA-MISRA can be fully integrated into QA Systems' unit and integration testing tool CANTATA.

QA-MISRA helps to make programme code more reliable, more portable and easier to maintain.

QA-MISRA automatically checks your C or C++ code for compliance with MISRA and AUTOSAR rules, as well as the security standards: SEI CERT C/C++, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE), ISO/IEC TS 17961, Hersteller Initiative Software (HIS Metrics) and others.

QA-MISRA is exclusively distributed internationally by QA Systems: https://www.qa-systems.com/tools/qa-misra/.
