Parasoft expands automotive safety support with TÜV SÜD re-certification

Parasoft C/C++test complies with IEC 61508 and ISO 26262 standards

Parasoft announced today the certification of the latest version of Parasoft C/C++test (v10.3.3) by TÜV SÜD, a world leader in testing to international standards and directives that are endorsed by leading quality and safety marks. Parasoft C/C++test is a development testing solution for C and C++ applications. It automates important testing activities, including static analysis, unit testing, and code coverage, that are proven to improve software development team productivity and software quality.

“With current trends of increasing complexity, software content, and mechatronic implementation, there are rising risks of systematic failures and random hardware failures. IEC 61508 and ISO 26262 standards include guidance to reduce these risks to a tolerable level by providing feasible requirements and processes,” stated Mark Lambert, VP of Products. “TÜV SÜD has certified the latest version of Parasoft C/C++test to comply with these standards. Qualified for safety-related software development, C/C++test helps software development teams achieve the desired safety integrity level (SIL/ASIL).”

To augment compliance efforts and documentation, Parasoft C/C++test provides configurable test reports with a high level of detail, supporting a broad range of analysis types:

• Static Analysis C code and C++ code
• Coding Standards Compliance
• Data and Control Flow Analysis
• Code Metrics
• Unit Testing
• Application Monitoring
• Coverage Analysis
• Runtime Error Detection

Using Parasoft C/C++test to support these activities significantly reduces the work required for the software verification process.
