A new test configuration option allows development teams to automatically suppress violations of equivalent rules, making it easier to work with multiple coding standards or to transition from one coding standard to another, Parasoft said. Previously, the same coding issue might be reported under a different rule ID than in the new standard, forcing developers to manually suppress violations that already had been suppressed.
Parasoft C/C++test 2025.1 also adds complete support for the MISRA (Motor Industry Software Reliability Association) C:2025 coding guidelines, and updates the rules for MISRA C:2023, removing obsolete rules and offering functional safety improvements. MISRA is a collaboration between manufacturers, component suppliers, engineering consultancies, and academics seeking to promote best practice in developing safety- and security-related electronic systems and other software-intensive applications, according to Parasoft.
Parasoft also the expanded compiler support to include new versions of ARM Compiler, Clang C/C++ Compiler, GNU GCC, Hexagon Clang Compiler, and Intel Classic C/C++ Compiler.
