Does your software development environment need to be fully compliant with functional safety standards such as ISO 26262, IEC 61508, EN 50128, EN 50716, or IEC 62304? With software now core to functional safety in an increasing number of industries, the answer will likely be yes. Even if your source code is fully compliant, it still has to go through a compiler, which may become the weakest link in your safety chain.

Many developers and functional safety managers struggle with meeting safety requirements for the compiler. Some only find out late in the safety qualification process that the compiler needs to be qualified. Others may have a technically qualified compiler but then realize its safety qualification does not fit their specific use case. Many simply don’t know where to start!

SuperTest is the industry standard for C and C++ compiler testing and safety qualification. It is used worldwide by compiler developers for quality assurance and by developers of safety-critical software to qualify both third-party and open-source compilers. Its unique features ensure a straightforward and reliable compiler qualification process straight out of the box.

Millions of test cases: From conformance to the ISO C and C++ programming language standards to optimization correctness, SuperTest verifies it all.

Easy configuration for any use case: SuperTest can be configured to qualify any compiler and any use case. Its straightforward test driver makes it easy to adapt SuperTest to any compiler and execution environment, however complex. 

Traceability to the ISO C and C++ standards: SuperTest is systematically structured so that it is clear which section of which version of the ISO C or C++ standard is tested by each test. Traceability in the functional safety process is built in.

Comprehensive reporting tools: SuperTest generates reports that are a solid basis for any compiler qualification report.

A proven track record: Solid Sands and our customers have performed numerous compiler qualifications using SuperTest in conformance to functional safety standards in the automotive, industrial, rail, and medical device industries. The resulting safety documentation has been certified to the highest safety integrity levels by independent assessors such as TÜV.
