Publication of the new MISRA C:2012 coding guidelines is imminent. Keen to find out more? Join Paul Burden - our representative on the MISRA C Working Group for more than 10 years and one of the co-authors of the new guidelines - for a webinar and Q&A on 21st March:

• Why a new (third) revision of MISRA C?
• What are the key differences compared to the previous version?
• What is the underlying rational driving the changes?
• How pertinent are these guidelines beyond the Automotive industry?
• What does this mean for legacy code which is already MISRA C:2004 compliant?

Register for one of the two live webinars on Thursday 21st March:

Europe & Asia: 09:00 GMT, 10:00 CET, 14.30 IST, 18:00 JST

US & Europe: 10.00 PDT, 11:00 EDT, 17:00 GMT, 18:00 CET

Code inspections need not be a subjective, tedious, confrontational and labor-intensive activity. With extensive automation, online collaboration and the realization of continuous, incremental updates, the new Continuous Code Inspection paradigm is now established through intelligent features of QA·Verify.

• Share - capture and document commentary threads from each code review
• Connect - alert developers to their pending actions through a system of notifications, both internal and through email
• Measure - user configurable dashboard, presenting tailored information and analytics within and across projects such as trending, code complexity and metrics

There is a large body of evidence which demonstrates that rigorous code inspections are one of the most effective ways to identify and remove defects, and they achieve this at the earliest possible stage in development.

In this new paper we have identified three key areas which need to be considered in order to make code inspections practical and even more effective:

1. Inspection criteria,
2. Inspection process,
3. Enabling tools which provide automation.
