Best Static Code Analysis Software for C - Page 2

CodeSonar employs a unified dataflow and symbolic execution analysis that examines the computation of the complete application. By not relying on pattern matching or similar approximations, CodeSonar's static analysis engine is extraordinarily deep, finding 3-5 times more defects on average than other static analysis tools. Unlike many software development tools, such as testing tools, compilers, configuration management, etc., SAST tools can be integrated into a team's development process at any time with ease. SAST technologies like CodeSonar simply attach to your existing build environments to add analysis information to your verification process. Like a compiler, CodeSonar does a build of your code using your existing build environment, but instead of creating object code, CodeSonar creates an abstract model of your entire program. From the derived model, CodeSonar’s symbolic execution engine explores program paths, reasoning about program variables and how they relate.

Axivion helps development teams deliver safer, cleaner, and more maintainable C, C++, and CUDA code by automatically detecting coding standard violations, security vulnerabilities, dead code, and code clones. It provides actionable recommendations and detailed analytics, helping teams track, resolve, and prevent defects early in the development process. Axivion also supports architecture verification, enabling teams to maintain modular and scalable codebases. Designed for safety-critical industries like automotive, aerospace, medical devices, and industrial automation, Axivion supports functional safety standards including MISRA, ISO 26262, and IEC 61508. By combining static code analysis with architecture verification, it helps teams maintain long-term code health, accelerate certification readiness, and deliver high-performance software while reducing technical debt and ensuring compliance.
