Meet Requirements for Safety-Critical Projects
For safety-critical industries — such as automotive, aerospace and defense, rail, and medical device — it’s essential that functional safety standards — such as IEC 61508 — and guidelines are followed.
However, ensuring that functional safety standards and guidelines are enforced can be a difficult, time-consuming challenge. For that reason, it’s important to adopt functional safety best practices, such as using a static analysis tool — like Perforce QAC and Perforce Klocwork — to enforce and verify compliance with functional safety standards such as AUTOSAR.
Enforcing and Complying with Functional Safety Standards Is Easy…
When you use Perforce Static Analysis tools, Perforce QAC and Perforce Klocwork. The static code analyzers enable you to easily enforce functional safety standards—such as IEC 61508, IEC 62061, and AUTOSAR—and ensure that functional safety requirements — like safety integrity levels (SIL) and automotive safety integrity levels (ASIL) — are met.
However, using a static analysis tool is only one of the functional safety best practices that you should be using to ensure that functional safety requirements are met.
Perforce QAC and Perforce Klocwork are the best static code analyzers for functional safety and standards compliance. They help you apply a coding standard and eliminate software defects early on in development. Perforce Static Analysis tools are certified for functional safety compliance by TÜV-SÜD for key safety standards such as:
- IEC 61508
- ISO 26262
- EN 50128
- IEC 62304
- IEC 60880

Why Use Perforce Static Analysis Tools
Trusted by Industry Leaders
Why Static Analysis, Code Quality Tools?
Static Analysis for C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Python, Kotlin
For Safe, Secure, High-Quality Code. Faster.
Static code analysis identifies defects, vulnerabilities, and compliance issues as you code. It finds issues that are often missed by other tools and methods, such as compilers and manual code reviews. With static code analysis, you can fix coding issues earlier — lowering overall costs and enabling you to deliver a quality product on time.

Benefits of Perforce Static Analysis
Static Application Security Test (SAST)
Build continuous code security monitoring into your development process. SAST tools help to ensure that secure coding practices are properly implemented and that vulnerabilities are removed at the earliest opportunity. Review our SAST tutorial to help you understand more about this testing and why it is important.
Code Quality Management
Automate reporting on code quality trends and compliance status to effectively measure code quality metrics and track defects.
Large-Scale Projects
Manual code reviews are time-consuming and often vulnerable to human error. Perforce’s static code analyzers quickly inspect millions of lines of source code, identifying vulnerabilities in both legacy and new code.
Developer Productivity
Perforce’s static analyzers provide developers with feedback as they code, which reduces the number of mistakes and time spent on rework – lowering overall project costs.

Who Uses Static Analysis, Code Quality Tools?
The use of code quality tools is growing within every kind of industry. It is especially important for the development of mission-critical software in:
Automotive
A typical passenger car runs more than 100 million lines of code. And, a vehicle has a wide range of software controlled sub-components – from braking systems to infotainment and communication systems. All this software requires careful review to ensure safety, reliability, and compliance.
Aerospace & Defense
Aerospace, defense, and military organizations use embedded software every day. This software is often comprised of large code bases and complex systems. And developers have an obligation to ensure that the software is safe and secure, reliable, and free of any defects.
Medical Device
The quality of software embedded in medical devices can mean the difference between life and death. Because of this, there is increasing scrutiny for both safety and security in medical device software.
Energy Technology
Energy and utilities product development teams need to ensure functional safety compliance, meet industry regulations as well as mitigate potential security vulnerabilities and coding errors.
Best Static Analyzer for Functional Safety and Standards Compliance
For over 30 years, Perforce QAC has been the trusted static code analyzer for C and C++ programming languages. With its depth and accuracy of analysis, Perforce QAC has been the preferred static code analyzer in tightly regulated and safety-critical industries that need to meet rigorous compliance requirements. Often, this involves verifying compliance with coding standards — such as MISRA and AUTOSAR — and functional safety standards, such as ISO 26262.
Perforce QAC is certified for functional safety compliance by TÜV-SÜD, including IEC 61508, ISO 26262, EN 50128, IEC 60880, and IEC 62304. In addition, it is also certified in ISO 9001 | TickIT plus Foundation Level, which is one of the most widely adopted standards to ensure that your requirements are not only met but exceeded as well.
