Polyspace Bug Finder

Identify software bugs using static analysis

Polyspace Bug Finder identifies run-time errors, concurrency issues, security vulnerabilities, and other defects in C and C++ embedded software. Using static analysis, including semantic analysis, Polyspace Bug Finder analyzes software control flow, data flow, and interprocedural behavior. By highlighting defects as soon as they are detected, it lets you triage and fix bugs early in the development process.

Polyspace Bug Finder checks compliance with coding rule standards such as MISRA C^®, MISRA C++, AUTOSAR C++14, CERT^® C, CERT C++, and custom naming conventions. It generates reports consisting of bugs found, code-rule violations, and code quality metrics, including cyclomatic complexity. 

For automatically generated code, Polyspace results can be traced back to Simulink models and dSPACE^® TargetLink^®  blocks.

Support for industry standards is available through IEC Certification Kit (for ISO 26262 and IEC 61508) and DO Qualification Kit (for DO-178).

What Is Polyspace Bug Finder?

Identify Software Bugs and Vulnerabilities

Documentation

Static application meet security requirements.

Static Application Security Testing

Secure your application by detecting security vulnerabilities and issues. Comply with security coding standards and guidelines such as CERT C/C++, CWE, ISO 17961, and MISRA C:2012 Amendment 1.

Documentation

Certification Support

Create artifacts needed to complete the certification process for industry safety and security standards, such as IEC 61508, ISO 26262, ISO/SAE 21434 or DO-178C, up to the highest functional safety or security levels.

Documentation

Tracing code from the source to Simulink or Stateflow.

Simulink and Stateflow Integration

Run analysis on generated code and trace your findings from the source code to the corresponding Simulink model block or Stateflow chart. Launch Polyspace analysis from within the Simulink environment.

Documentation

Graph of code metrics and quality trends.

Monitor Software Quality

Generate code metrics to measure and improve the quality of the source code. Compare analysis results against quality thresholds.
