    Axivion
    Static Code Analysis

    The fully customizable Axivion Static Code Analysis is a cornerstone for your CI-based quality gate. It complements the use of automated testing tools and ensures high-quality code - right from the start.

    Using State-of-the-Art Static Code Analysis to Assure the Quality of Your Software

    The automated analysis of your software projects identifies violations of coding guidelines according to MISRA (including MISRA C: 2023 and MISRA C++:2023) and AUTOSAR C++14. Security-relevant violations are analyzed with coding guidelines according to CERT®, C Secure Coding and CWE. Metric violations are displayed and documented, as are clones, cycles or unreachable code.

    The results of Axivion Static Code Analysis support you in the continuous quality assurance accompanying the development of software created in the programming languages C and C++. By automating the quality checks, developers can focus on the tasks that require human intelligence and creativity. Repetitive tasks can simply be handed over to a machine, which repeatedly performs full-scale checks and delivers comprehensive reports.

    Stopping Software Erosion to Future-Proof Your Software Development

    Software erosion (also known as technical debt) is a process through which maintainability, extensibility and reusability of software is made more difficult or even impossible over time. Source code is continuously modified to enhance the functionality of the software to adapt to new or changed requirements. Although this might not impair the function of the software, it potentially introduces additional burden on future tasks.

    As a consequence, software erosion can also degrade the observable operation of a system and compromises its functional safety and security. The result: relevant criteria, e.g. for ISO, DOD, MISRA, may not be met anymore, thus preventing successful certification in certain application domains.

     

    Clone Detection & Management

    The clone detection feature identifies both duplicates and similar pieces of code in the software and tracks them over time to support consistent further development. It uses the structure and can therefore also detect clones with altered function names and variable names.

    Metric Monitoring

    Benefit from included rule sets for common software metrics. These includes metrics based on lines and tokens, nesting, cyclomatic complexity, control flow or golden oldies like Halstead metrics. Even whole rule sets like HIS are supported.

    Coding Guidelines

    With Axivion Suite’s automatic coding guidelines checkers, risky vulnerabilities in the code are easily found during development. The integrated delta analysis enables targeted reactions to newly emerging risks in the code.

    Defect Analysis

    The defect analysis checks the source code for potential runtime errors. It includes scalable data and control flow checks. These allow errors such as out-of-bounds access or division by zero to be detected at an early phase of the software development.

    Dead Code Analysis

    Code that will not be executed still needs attention. Dead or unreachable code complicates comprehensibility, testability and maintainability. Through direct feedback, preventive bug fixes and low-threshold refactorings can be optimized.

    Cycle Detection

    The analysis recognises cyclical dependencies on different levels. It can identify and monitor not only call cycles (recursions), but also component cycles and include cycles.

    Static application security testing (SAST) for C, C++ to prevent security vulnerabilities

    Static application security testing (SAST) is a key component when developing security-related software. Axivion Static Code Analysis is an ideal choice when looking for a SAST tool: it helps to ensure that secure coding practices are implemented properly and vulnerabilities are removed in the early stages of the development process.

    Not only developers using C /C++  will benefit from the tool's features, which focus on safety, compliance, and risk management. Anyone for whom maintaining software security and compliance is crucial, Axivion is an excellent choice when it comes to protecting the source code. Contact us to learn more.
