Code base growth drives static analysis market

LONDON — Embedded software engineers using a static analysis tool are working on projects with significantly larger average numbers of in-house developed lines of software code than developers not using a static analysis tools according to research by VDC Research.

VDC considers static code analysis tools to include solutions ranging from Lint-based syntax parsers to standards’ compliance checkers to tools using more formal methods for verification.

With the overall embedded code base growing a rate near 10 percent, VDC expects that an increasing number of development teams may look toward static analysis tools as a means to ensure code quality and functionality.
