Other Industries – Telecommunications, Consumer, Commercial

Coding Standard adoption rates are growing steadily, not just in mission-critical and safety-critical environments but also across many other industries that recognize the potential commercial impact when software does not behave as intended. For example:

  • Telecommunications – not only mobile phones, but also the multitude of devices on the network side, such as routers, switches, gateways, base stations etc.
  • Consumer Electronics, with a bewildering range of devices, including, TVs, set-top boxes, DAB radios, gaming devices and even the likes of washing machines, microwaves and fridges
  • Commercial industries such as HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning), Security systems and industrial process control and automation
  • Other enterprises, especially financial, banking and insurance (FBI)

Consumer solutions from PRQANone of these industries have industry specific coding standards analogous to MISRA or JSF. Companies typically adopt a subset of coding rules based on an existing coding standard such as MISRA, JSF or HIC++. Frequently these are supplemented by additional company specific coding rules, and/or a style guide.

PRQA customers span all of these sectors, where we help leading companies to improve the quality of their software. In addition to our standard statics analysis tools and compliance modules we provide a critical range of additional services, helping customers to develop bespoke coding standards, tailoring existing industry standards for domain specific deployments and helping to automate the enforcement of selected coding rules.
