Maximize Software Quality Through Accessibility Testing

Code coverage measures how much of an application’s source code is tested through various methods, such as unit testing, manual testing, and automated functional testing. Code coverage percentage goals can be subjective. The thoroughness of the coverage in safety-critical systems depends on the application safety integrity level (SIL) metric used in different industries and the development assurance level (DAL) commonly used in avionics. In building safety-critical applications where failure may cause death, regulatory and industry standards require 100% structural code coverage.

Join this webinar to learn best practices and see a live demo. We’ll show you structural code coverage for statement, branch, MC/DC, automated reporting, and discuss the following:

 • How much coverage should you achieve? 
 • How do you decide the code structural thoroughness of the coverage?
 • What’s the best way to satisfy this task?
 • What to do when you need to combine coverage from third-party libraries?
 • How to perform code coverage on target hardware?
 • What action should you take when instrumentation causes excessive code bloat?

What You Need to Know About Code Coverage for Embedded C/C++ Systems

A common barrier to successfully adopting and implementing static analysis practices is figuring out how to sort through static analysis noise to determine which violations are important to fix and which can be suppressed.

Development teams that struggle with noisy static analysis findings often waste development time triaging static analysis violations to determine what’s important to their program and what violations to prioritize for remediation versus what can be ignored.

When teams do not have a way to quickly sort through the noise, it impacts productivity and leaves developers frustrated. Did you know that you can cut through static analysis noise with AI?

Join our webinar to learn how applying AI/ML to static analysis can:
 • Help development teams reduce static analysis noise and prioritize static analysis findings for remediation.
 • Streamline compliance to secure coding standards for Java and .NET applications, such as OWASP, CWE, PCI-DSS, or UL2900.
 • Accelerate the remediation of static analysis violations and expand developer knowledge on best practices for developing safe and secure code.

Cut Through the Static Analysis Noise! Use AI to Find & Fix Violations Faster

A notable challenge for embedded safety- and security-critical systems is optimizing target-based testing methodologies to validate the accuracy of functionality, security measures, and performance parameters. Target systems exhibit distinct performance and behavior compared to their host counterparts, which can significantly influence test outcomes, highlighting the need for tailored testing procedures.

Static analysis raises code quality, while unit testing is a fundamental aspect that focuses on verifying module designs to ensure each software unit operates as intended. The meticulous collection and analysis of code coverage metrics are essential practices for safety-critical software. Code coverage serves as a metric for test case completion and execution, providing tangible evidence of validation completeness aligned with software design specifications.
