Learn how coding standards, rules, and guidelines help develop safe automotive software

It is no news that coding can be tricky and fragile, which is why having a set of coding standards, rules, and guidelines in place are needed to ensure good quality and reliable code in the automotive sector. Moreover, as there is not one-fits all coding standard, recognizing the different references and knowing how to combine them to ensure safe and secure vehicle software is key and the main goals of this video course.

There are differences among coding standards, rules, and guidelines which are helpful to understand before deciding the right coding rule baseline. Therefore, you will be first introduced to the differences between them and be given examples of each.

Shortly after, we will pay special focus into standards as they are crucial for consistent code quality and help minimizing vulnerabilities, which in turn decrease development time and costs. More specifically, we will provide general details on CERT and MISRA coding standards.

Additionally, we will clarify how each standard supports the coding process in a side-to-side comparison. Finally, you will learn how applying static code analysis will help you ensure compliance with the CERT and MISRA standards.
