The development of object oriented programming introduced an efficient method for sophisticated code development, which the automotive industry was keen to exploit. When it needed to develop a reliable subset of the C++ language for use in safety critical systems, the motoring industry turned to PRQA.

MISRA-C++ is founded on the demonstrable benefits of the MISRA-C coding standard, and in its development has been drawn from the Lockheed Martin Joint Strike Fighter Air Vehicle C++ coding standard (JSF AV C++) and PRQA's High Integrity C++ coding standard (HIC++). The result is MISRA-C++:2008; a comprehensive set of guidelines and best practices intended for adoption by the wider development community.

To facilitate the enforcement of the MISRA-C++:2008 coding standard, PRQA has developed a Compliance Module for its industry-leading static analysis tool, QA·C++. The result is QA·MISRA-C++, which offers the highest available enforcement of the MISRA-C++:2008 coding standard.

The compliance module is fully configurable and integrates comprehensive advice on the guidelines to improve software integrity and help you develop a consistent programming style. With its project-based compliance reporting, QA·MISRA-C++ offers coding standard enforcement without impeding your development team's creativity.
