Motion Tool Suite Supports 2008 MISRA-C++

As Motor Industry Software Reliability Association (MISRA) standards are branching into safety-critical software projects outside the automotive industry, the company adds capabilities to its motor/motion LDRA tool suite to comply with the soon to be released MISRA-C++:2008 standard. This complements the suite’s existing support for the MISRA-C:1998 and MISRA-C:2004, HIS (Herstellerinitiative Software) and GJB (Chinese Military Standard) standards for the C programming language. MISRA is a collaboration between automotive manufacturers, component suppliers and engineering consultancies that seek to promote best practice and commonality in the development of safety-related automotive electronic and other embedded systems through the publication of standard guidelines. Based on acceptance of MISRA-C as a best-practice solution, it reportedly sees increased adoption for safety-related and safety-critical software development projects and applications in a wide variety of other industries including the rail, aerospace, military, and medical sectors.
