Implementing MISRA-C:1998 with the LDRA tool suite
The LDRA tool suite can be configured with additional analysis facilities to automate the checking of source code for conformance to the MISRA-C:1998 standard.
This process can be undertaken during Unit, System and Integration testing to ensure compliance throughout the software development cycle, enabling both Developers and Managers to benefit from faster adoption of the standard in new or existing projects.
The LDRA tool suite locates and highlights areas of code that are non-conforming to aid documentation and modification. Extensive reports and graphical displays enhance understanding of the source code, facilitating improvements in testability, understandability and maintainability in line with MISRA-C:1998 guidelines.
The LDRA tool suite also enables coverage measures to be taken to ensure software testedness is measured and maintained, as recommended by the MISRA-C:1998 standard.
Is the tool suite easy to use?
The tool suite’s ease of use is a key issue when incorporating it into project procedures. The LDRA tool suite has been specifically enhanced to enable simple measurement of conformance to the MISRA-C:1998 standard. Reports are specifically tailored to give users MISRA-C:1998 information quickly and concisely, speeding up the testing procedure. Reports can be produced in either ASCII or HTML. Either format can be easily incorporated into a word processor or DTP system. HTML has the added advantage of links which can provide access to the MISRA documentation, and the ability to publish on the Internet or an intranet.
