Programming Research Endorses MISRA-C:2004

Leading MISRA solution provider will offer auto-enforcement of new guidelines

BIRMINGHAM UK -- Programming Research, the leading global developer of source code analysis technologies and coding standards-compliance solutions, today announced at ESS 2004 that product plans are underway to support the new MISRA-C:2004 Guidelines for the use of the C language in critical systems.

Programming Research’s QA·MISRA Compliance Analyzer is the most powerful, most widely adopted MISRA enforcement solution on the planet today. The widespread deployment of the firm’s robust QA·MISRA solution outside the automotive industry clearly demonstrates and supports the objectives of MISRA-C:2004.

MISRA-C:2004 represents the evolution of the MISRA-C Guidelines originally developed for software used in automotive systems. Over time, MISRA-C was adopted and provided value across a wide variety of industries including rail, aerospace, military, and medical sectors. Programming Research is a founding member of the MISRA-C Working Group and made significant contributions to the development of the new, and to the original, versions of the guidelines.

Programming Research’s QA·MISRA solution is already the global de facto standard for MISRA compliance in the automotive industry. Its adoption in safety-critical application development outside of automotive continues to grow steadily and reinforces the intent and purpose of the new guidelines. The strongest growth is seen in the defense and medical device sectors.

Since MISRA-C:2004 extends the original MISRA-C guidelines, current users of Programming Research’s powerful QA·MISRA Compliance Analyzer enjoy a head start and are well-positioned to quickly take advantage of the new guidelines.
