Five parts of Understand fall inside the certified scope.
Import your source code in seconds — via a CMake compile command, our BuildSpy feature for GCC/G++, or manually.
Define and export architectures, then analyze dependencies between architectures and source files to keep complex systems organized.
Track key quality metrics, like cyclomatic complexity, to catch risk before it ships.
Run static analysis checks manually as you code, or automatically on every check-in, to stay compliant with industry standards like MISRA and AUTOSAR.
Visualize Call Tree and Called-By Tree graphs to trace impact before you make a change.
ISO 26262 is an international standard for functional safety of road vehicles. It provides guidelines and recommendations for the development of safety-critical automotive systems and their components, including software. Following the ISO 26262 standard is important for the following reasons:
Similarly to ISO 26262, IEC 61508 is important for software development because it ensures that safety-critical systems are developed in a way that prioritizes safety, meets regulatory requirements, protects against liability claims, ensures high product quality, and can lead to cost savings. Using a tool that follows this Functional Safety Management guideline ensures a higher quality product is received, and may be required for some projects.
EN 50128 is a standard that provides guidelines for the development of software for railway control and protection systems. EN 50128 ensures that safety-critical railway systems are developed in a way that prioritizes safety, meets regulatory requirements, protects against liability claims, ensures high product quality, and can lead to cost savings. Using software tools that follow EN 50128 may be required for some projects.
Contact [email protected] to request a certified build, or to ask for a copy of the certificate and safety manual.
Source code import and analysis, architectures, metrics, static analysis, and call graphs — the five features described above.
DO-330 tool qualification for Understand is available separately through our qualification kits.
Try Understand on your own code, then contact support for a certified build when you are ready to put it in your toolchain.
