Set a Higher Standard for Code Quality
You cannot cut corners on quality in safety-critical software projects. While standard static analysis tools are useful for surface-level issues like code style and syntax errors, they often lack the depth to find the most critical runtime errors in modern and highly complex embedded systems.
This includes common issues like memory corruption, hard-to-reproduce race conditions, gradual resource leaks that impact long-term stability, and null pointer errors hidden within complex program logic.
These are precisely the types of defects that bypass traditional testing, driving up post-release costs and impacting product reliability and maintainability.
"Good Enough" Is Not an Option – Your Enterprise-Grade Code Analysis For Demanding Software Projects
We have evaluated several static analysis tools, and Axivion Suite clearly stood out in our tests. The tool performed best in terms of AUTOSAR C++14 coverage and convinced us through its ease of use, control flow, data analysis, and report generation. Axivion has already become a mainstay component in our development workflow and a valuable component of our DevOps pipeline.

This power is backed by independent certification from SGS-TÜV Saar for use in safety-critical systems up to the highest integrity levels, including ISO 26262 (ASIL D), IEC 61508 (SIL 4), and IEC 62304 (Class C).
Master Your Codebase and Manage Technical Debt
Beyond just finding bugs, Axivion is built for improving long-term code health. This level of static source code analysis identifies technical debt, including code clones, dead code, and cyclical dependencies.
Axivion was engineered to handle massive, complex codebases with proven support for C, C++, C#, and CUDA, ensuring your software is maintainable and scalable for years to come.
Expert Insights on Static Code Analysis
The goal of every software project should be to build to last. This demands building with correctness and resilience in mind right from the start.
A static analysis tool is a crucial component in achieving this goal.

Dynamic vs. Static Analysis
Two trends demand attention, also impacting the safety-critical space:
– GPU computing is growing rapidly
– The adoption of Rust is accelerating
Static analysis tools must evolve now to support these shifts.

The Solution in Action –
Solve Your Biggest Development Challenges
Explore how our solution protects embedded systems from cyber threats with SAST, prevents technical debt from turning into costly business risks, and guarantees reliable communication across multi-language software interfaces.
Protecting Embedded Systems from Cyber Threats with SAST
Increased connectivity in embedded systems creates new attack vectors. A compromised brake controller or an insulin pump is a direct threat to human safety, making security a prerequisite for functional safety.
Static Application Security Testing (SAST) is essential for prevention. Axivion's SAST scans your source code during development, identifying critical weaknesses like buffer overflows and unsafe data handling long before deployment. This allows your team to build systems that are both functionally safe and secure by design.
Preventing Technical Debt from Becoming a Business Risk
Technical debt accumulates quietly in complex software projects. Shortcuts and outdated code structures slow innovation and increase failure risk. A routine update can become a costly delay, jeopardizing schedules and compliance.
Axivion Static Code Analysis provides continuous visibility into codebase health. It highlights the root causes of technical debt, including code complexity, duplication, and architectural violations. This turns an unmanageable strategic risk into a measurable and manageable asset.
Ensuring Reliability Across Multi-Language Interfaces
When a system uses multiple languages like C++, C#, and CUDA, the greatest risk lies at the interfaces. Traditional code analyzers check each language in isolation, leaving them blind to critical cross-language boundary issues like mismatched data handling or memory mismanagement. These are often the most severe and hard-to-find bugs.
Axivion's static code analyzer treats your entire multi-language project as a single unit. It understands the connections between components like C++/CUDA or C#/C++ and finds the critical bugs at the seams where other tools fail. For teams building safety-critical systems, this approach delivers higher reliability, faster debugging, and simplified compliance.
