Overview

Polyspace is a static analysis tool that uses formal methods to prove the absence of certain critical run-time errors in C/C++ and Ada code. It can detect issues like buffer overflows, division by zero, and data races, and it provides results that are sound, meaning that it will not miss any errors of the types it checks for. Polyspace is widely used in the development of safety-critical software for industries like aerospace, automotive, and medical devices.

✨ Key Features

  • Static analysis using formal methods
  • Sound analysis (no missed errors)
  • Prove the absence of critical run-time errors
  • Supports C, C++, Ada
  • Compliance with standards like MISRA and DO-178C
  • Integration with Simulink

🎯 Key Differentiators

  • Use of formal methods to prove the absence of errors
  • Sound analysis results
  • Deep integration with the MathWorks ecosystem (MATLAB and Simulink)

Unique Value: Provides the highest level of assurance for the absence of critical run-time errors in your code, which is essential for safety-critical applications.
