The implications of software failure in a safety or business critical environment can be staggering, resulting in substantial financial and human impact.

According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology Planning Report 02-3, software development organizations spend $1 billion annually on tools to test software. Unfortunately, they spend another $21 billion fixing defects testing failed to catch.

Runtime testing and debugging of running code, or dynamic testing, has been in common use for decades. For most software systems, it is infeasible to achieve full path coverage via dynamic testing. Fortune 500 companies have reported they expect runtime testing to cover only approximately 70% of their source code.

The SofCheck Difference
SofCheck’s advanced static error detection solutions find bugs in programs before programs are run. By mathematically analyzing every line of software, considering every possible input, and every path through the program, SofCheck’s solutions find any and all errors that cause a program to crash or produce an undefined result.

Such advanced static error detection tools are highly sophisticated, quickly find errors not found by runtime testing or style checking, increase productivity, and speed time to market. Employed as a complementary technology to traditional testing methods, SofCheck offers a fast, cost-effective solution to producing high quality, highly reliable software.
