WEBINAR
Modern embedded software development demands fast feedback, deep code insight, and seamless developer workflows. Yet many teams still rely on disconnected verification tools that force developers to switch contexts, slowing productivity and delaying defect resolution.
Watch JetBrains and Parasoft showcase how to integrate advanced static analysis directly into the CLion environment using C/C++test and modern agentic AI workflows. Whether you’re developing safety-critical, security-critical, or high-reliability embedded software, this webinar will provide practical insights into modern embedded static analysis workflows within a C/C++ development environment enhanced with AI-assisted and MCP-enabled capabilities.
You’ll learn how to:
See how AI-assisted workflows extend the value of static analysis by helping developers investigate and remediate findings faster. Using the Parasoft C/C++test MCP Server, AI agents can access detailed violation information, coding standards documentation, and remediation guidance to help developers understand and resolve issues more efficiently
In addition, you’ll see how C/C++test supports compliance initiatives with MISRA, AUTOSAR C++14, CERT, and other industry coding standards.
C and C++ are still the backbone of embedded systems, especially where performance and direct hardware interaction are key. Even with new languages popping up, C and C++ continue to grow in popularity. On top of this, AI coding assistants are changing how we write code, but they also bring a need for automated checks and verification. Meanwhile, industries like automotive, aerospace, and medical devices face stricter rules for safety and security. These requirements are non-negotiable to keep risks low. Add to this the fact that embedded codebases are getting massive, often spanning millions of lines of code and deployed across many platforms. Complex build systems like Bazel only add to the challenge. It’s a lot to handle, and staying on top of quality and compliance is a real hurdle.
To tackle these challenges, developers need more than just a basic IDE. JetBrains CLion aims to boost developer productivity by reducing friction and bringing everything developers need into one place. It supports multiple languages like C, C++, Python, and Rust, with deep understanding of each. CLion works with various build systems, from CMake to Bazel and Zephyr. It also focuses on bringing code quality closer to the developer, offering deep code insights, refactorings, and navigation. The new integration with Parasoft C/C++test brings advanced static analysis directly into the IDE. Plus, CLion lets developers use AI coding assistants like GitHub Copilot while maintaining control over code quality.
Parasoft C/C++test is the leading solution for C and C++ static code analysis, designed to help teams improve quality and meet compliance needs without slowing down development. It helps find defects early, including runtime errors, complex code issues, and security flaws. Think problems like division by zero, buffer overflows, null pointer dereferences, and tainted data analysis. For compliance, C/C++test helps ensure code meets standards like MISRA, AUTOSAR C++14, and CERT. It even allows for custom rule creation to enforce company-specific guidelines. The tool comes with TUV certification and qualification kits to support compliance processes and audits. Importantly, C/C++test fits into modern development workflows, allowing analysis from local desktops to build servers and CI pipelines, and now, directly within IDEs like CLion.
CLion allows for direct integration with Parasoft C/C++test. This means you can use Sarif results from C/C++test right inside CLion. The integration lets you navigate from a report directly to the problematic code, see additional information, and even traces of the issue. The big win here is that you can act on these issues without leaving the IDE, fixing them directly in the editor. This also works hand-in-hand with AI coding agents, allowing you to fix issues on the fly. This integration was driven by customer demand, with many in the automotive and embedded sectors asking for this direct link between CLion and Parasoft C/C++test.
This integration enables agentic workflows, where static analysis violations become actionable input for AI agents. C/C++test finds the problems, and the AI agent can interpret the finding, understand the rule context, and propose a fix. The integration provides the agent with precise details: the violation message, code location, rule documentation, and remediation examples. This speeds up compliance with standards like MISRA and AUTOSAR C++14. Developers often see standards compliance as a chore, but these agentic workflows offload the repetitive work of interpreting and fixing violations to AI, while the developer stays in control. It’s about combining reliable static analysis with AI-assisted remediation to help teams move faster.
Imagine a developer working on a feature branch in CLion. Before merging, C/C++test runs static analysis, checking for issues like MISRA C++ 2023 violations. The results appear in CLion’s Sarif Viewer, highlighting violations like using an assignment operator in an improper context or expressions with side effects in logical AND operators. More complex issues, like potential division by zero, are also flagged with execution paths. The developer can then use CLion’s AI chat to ask an AI agent to fix these violations. The agent, instructed to use the Parasoft MCP server, extracts violation details and rule documentation to develop fixes. These fixes are organized by rule, with explanations, making them easy for the developer to review and approve. This process, from analysis to AI-assisted remediation and review, significantly speeds up the path to compliant code.
The best development tools don’t force teams to change their workflows, they enhance them.
As embedded software grows in complexity and compliance requirements continue to increase, static analysis has become a foundational development practice. Parasoft C/C++test integrates seamlessly into existing development environments, enabling teams to add advanced static analysis, coding standards enforcement, and compliance support without replacing their IDE, build system, testing framework, or CI/CD pipeline.
By combining CLion’s modern developer experience with Parasoft’s deep static analysis capabilities, teams can shift quality earlier in the development lifecycle, reduce remediation effort, and deliver safer, more secure, and more reliable software faster.
