Polyspace Code Prover
Prove the absence of run-time errors in software
Polyspace Code Prover™ is a sound static analysis tool that proves the absence of overflow, divide-by-zero, out-of-bounds array access, and other run-time errors in C and C++ source code. It produces results without requiring program execution, code instrumentation, or test cases. Polyspace Code Prover uses semantic analysis and abstract interpretation based on formal methods to verify software interprocedural, control, and data flow behavior. You can use it to verify handwritten code, generated code, or a combination of the two. Each code statement is color-coded to indicate whether it is free of run-time errors, proven to fail, unreachable, or unproven.
Polyspace Code Prover displays range information for variables and function return values, and can prove which variables exceed specified range limits. Code verification results can be used to track quality metrics and check conformance with your software quality objectives. Polyspace Code Prover can be used with the Eclipse™ IDE to verify code on your desktop
Support for industry standards is available through IEC Certification Kit (for IEC 61508 and ISO 26262) and DO Qualification Kit (for DO-178).
Get Started:
Prove the Absence of Critical Run-Time Errors
Identify C/C++ and Ada code operations that will never experience a run-time error, regardless of the run-time conditions.
Detecting run-time errors
Detect Errors That Elude Other Means of Testing
Analyze all code paths against all possible inputs without code execution.
Call hierarchy.
Create Certification Artifacts
Complete the certification process for projects based on industry standards.
DO Qualification Kit.
Understand the Root Cause of Issues and Improve Design
Examine control and data flow through software and see range information associated with variables and operators.
Tooltip displaying the possible ranges for all run-time conditions.
Prevent Unintended Software Behavior
Find all code sections that cannot be reached via any execution path and errors in logic and program structure.
