Code Audits Reduce The Risk of Software Becoming a Disabling Technology

Software is now the enabling technology within every product, across all market segments, however software quality assurance is often left unchecked.
Code that is hard to maintain, difficult to test or impossible to understand can lead to unreliable end-products that could potentially fail in the field. Software that hasn’t been developed to comply with best-practices could be difficult or even impossible to identify, representing a massive potential risk.

It needn’t be the case; software quality is an issue that can and should be addressed. By giving an insight in to the potential risk of failure, a code audit clearly identifies areas in need of improvement.

PRQA’s code audits give developers an instant summary of the quality of their software, providing them with the tools they need, to address problem areas before they are deployed in products.

PRQA can provide code audits for high impact critical bug issues as well as against standards supported by the industry’s most stringently controlled market segments, including the Automotive Industry (MISRA C/C++), the Joint Strike Fighter Air Vehicle Project (JSF AV C++), and against its own High Integrity C++ coding standards (HIC++).

Through code audits, the same methodology that ensures safety-critical applications are fit for purpose can be applied to every market where software is an enabling technology, introducing the same level of quality assurance.
