How model-driven testing can generate code-based testing results
n the systems and software testing community, generating code-based results is considered the gold standard for software testing. But increasing software complexity and shrinking time-to-market windows have forced many organizations to rethink how they handle the testing process. With the introduction of Model-Based Testing (MBT), developers have gained a faster automated process that can help them obtain complete model and code coverage. ...

Integrating static analysis with a compiler and database
Advanced static analysis tools are becoming increasingly critical in embedded systems development. Going well beyond older static analysis tools that were, in effect, coding style checkers, new tools statically analyze a source program’s control and data flow, thereby detecting bugs and vulnerabilities such as potential buffer overflows, uses of uninitialized variables, accesses through null pointers, and susceptibility to Security attacks...

Making static analysis a part of code review
As static analysis tools have become more sophisticated, their role in the software development process has become a subject of debate. Can a project team use a static analysis tool instead of other, presumably more labor-intensive steps in the normal process of coding, testing, verifying, validating, and ultimately, certifying critical software? The answer is an unequivocal “yes.”

Static analysis aids code portability
Portability is a tricky issue related to nuances in underlying architecture support, compilers, and coding standards. Static analysis tools can speed up the process of spotting and correcting portability issues, as shown in the following examples.
