QA·C++ Source Code Analyzer

Bringing balance to your safety critical application

Object Oriented programming languages represents a significant advancement in software development techniques, but bringing those benefits to safety critical applications demands careful scrutiny of the language's nuances.

QA·C++ is the market leading software analysis tool for C++, enforcing industry and custom coding standards in an intuitive, informative environment that expedites the development of reliable, maintainable code. Through diligent focus on published C++ coding standards QA·HIC++, QA·MISRA-C++, QA·JSF++, QA·C++ now has the highest and most accurate compliance to all these industrial standards.

With the built-in "best practices" philosophy of QA·C++, engineers will quickly diagnose potential problems in their C++ code such as design deficiencies, vulnerable language usage or coding standard violations. Along with OO and traditional language metrics and code structural analytics, QAC++ gives developers an unrivalled precise perspective on their code, resulting in more testable and maintainable code and a faster time to market.

With specific compliance to many coding standards, provided through QA·MISRA-C++, QA·JSF++, QA·HIC++, QA·C++ parses and comprehends the most advanced versions of C++ language, and incorporates the broadest range of bug detection and coding rule compliance.
