Ensuring that your secure software development project meets all of its goals on time requires that you have a thorough plan.

MISRA Compliance: 2020 consolidates and clarifies much of the guidance that was previously spread across the MISRA C and C++ coding guideline documents to ensure a clearer understanding of what MISRA compliance means at the outset of a project.

With the amount of software being installed into devices across all industries, it has become essential that the embedded code is safe and secure, reliable, and high quality.

WAP explained that the ability of the Department of Defense (DoD) to adapt and respond to threats will now be determined by its ability to rapidly develop and deploy software to the field. The report further explained that “the current approach to software development is broken and is a leading source of risk to DoD”.

Embedded software industries — including industrial automation, transportation, and healthcare — want to create innovative software.

Developers often have to produce effective code under tight deadlines. Without the proper tools to complement their work, this could lead to errors and vulnerabilities. That's why it's important to use static code analysis, which verifies the security, quality, and compliance of the code as it is being written.

In mission- and safety-critical industries, static code analysis (SCA) is key to facilitating the development of robust and reliable software.

Risk is not an option in medical device software development. So, you need to mitigate time-to-market, FDA, and security risks. Or you could be facing a costly recall or software update.

Software testing is essential to ensuring that your code is secure and reliable. However, challenges can arise during testing that are critical for you to handle effectively — which can be a daunting prospect. Although, those anxieties can be mitigated with the proper planning.
