Enhancing code quality and compliance with IAR’s solutions
Back in 2015, Landis+Gyr started using the code analysis tool C-STAT:
The main reason for us when we chose to start using C-STAT was that we are always striving to improve the quality of our products. When firmware is becoming more and more complex, we need tools which can help us find bugs early in the development process in order to reduce time to market and development costs, and improve the final product quality. C-STAT provides a good balance between tool cost and the available features.
C-STAT is now being used on six sites within Landis+Gyr:
C-STAT is easy to integrate into our development process and quickly indicates where errors or potential problems exist in the code. Our Software Engineers using the tool were soon won over and now see a clear benefit of using the tool in the product development.- McNutt
