Perforce Static Code Analyzers Have Been Trusted for 30+ Years
For more than 30 years, Perforce Helix QAC and Klocwork have been the most trusted static analysis tool for C and C++ programming languages.
Perforce’s static code analyzers deliver the most accurate and precise results to mission-critical project teams in the medical device industry. They are considered the best static code analysis tools for safety-critical systems. These tools help implement secure coding standards for medical device security, and ensure medical device cybersecurity best practices for medical device development.
With the advance of emerging technologies such as medical robotics and robotics in healthcare, AI, and machine learning, more regulations and standards are being implemented in the medical device industry to ensure patient safety and security.
Static analysis supports medical device security by enforcing coding standards and guidelines including IEC 62304 and CERT. Perforce static code analyzers Helix QAC and Klocwork help mitigate time-to-market, security risks, and ensure continuous compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements, following FDA cybersecurity guidance for FDA cybersecurity medical devices.

Why Static Analysis?
Running static analysis is an important part of the medical device development process to ensure medical device compliance with standards and guidelines such as:
- ISO 14971
- IEC 62304 software safety classification / IEC 62304 certification
- HR 7667
- FDA compliance medical devices
FDA cybersecurity guidelines / cybersecurity FDA guidance outline how to keep medical devices secure and help meet the requirements for clearance. Recently, the FDA has provided further guidance on cybersecurity and medical devices in the form of HR 7667.
FDA regulations for medical devices and other FDA regulations provide directions on how to provide documentation related to design controls, design the medical device to detect and respond to cybersecurity risks, and more. By using an FDA recognized standard and following FDA guidance on cybersecurity, developers can effectively address risks as they arise.

Benefits of Perforce Static Analysis
Coding Standards Compliance
Ensure your software is compliant with published, well-established coding standards, such as MISRA and CERT. Or, your own internal standard.
Functional Safety Certification
Perforce static code analyzers are pre-qualified for use in safety-critical applications. This makes it easier for you to gain certification for industry standards, such as ISO 26262 and IEC 62304.
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.
