The industry’s most rigorous safety qualification suite for C and C++ libraries

With a flexible test platform and seamless integration, SuperGuard™ gives developers complete control over their library qualification process — so they can build software that meets the highest safety requirements.

Key Features

Requirements-Based Testing

A detailed breakdown of the ISO C and C++ library specifications into requirements and tests.

High Code Coverage

High structural code coverage and MC/DC for library implementations out of the box.

Flexible Test Platform

Powerful and configurable test driver that seamlessly integrates with any compiler development environment and target processor.

Comprehensive Reporting

Extensive reporting tools that provide full requirements traceability for compliance documentation.

C and C++ Support

Qualification of the C and C++ standard libraries, supporting multiple versions and implementations.

Safety Standard Compliance

Designed to meet the most up-to-date functional safety standard requirements for critical applications.

Requirements-Based Testing

SuperGuard provides a detailed breakdown of the ISO C and C++ library specifications into the requirements that must be met by an implementation of the library. These requirements are linked to test specifications that describe how a test verifies the requirements. In turn, the test specification is linked to tests in SuperGuard. In this way, a detailed path is created from the specification to the tests that is easy to comprehend and verify, so that it can be used to create confidence in the compliance of the C and C++ library implementations with their specifications.

In More Detail

The SuperGuard Library Safety Qualification Suite is a requirements-based test suite for the C and C++ standard libraries with full traceability between the requirements derived from the ISO C and C++ language definitions and the individual library tests. It is designed to support the qualification of implementations of the C and C++ standard libraries for safety-critical applications, both for third-party (COTS) and for self-developed or maintained library implementations.

High Structural Code Coverage

SuperGuard is built to achieve high structural code coverage of the target library implementation. In addition to requirements traceability, this provides a second path to demonstrate the completeness of the test suite.

Reporting Tool

The suite comes with a software tool that reports the requirements that are met, and which are not met, by C and C++ library implementations as verified by a run of the test suite for a specific use case or configuration.

 

SuperGuard in the V-Model

SuperGuard can be used to support the qualification of C and C++ Standard Library implementations for safety-critical applications, both for unmodified third-party (COTS) library implementations and self-developed or self-maintained library implementations. SuperGuard’s role in the V-Model for software development is shown in the image below.

And More…

SuperGuard includes many more unique features that are not found in other qualification suites:

  • Compliance with the requirements of functional safety standards
  • Very easy and quick installation and configuration
  • Parallel testing automatically splits validation runs into a preconfigured number of threads to speed up the validation
  • Full control over test sets
  • Easy addition of your own specific tests
  • Excellent professional support

Benefits

Using SuperGuard provides numerous benefits for organizations developing safety-critical applications:

  • Reduced Qualification Time: Streamline the library qualification process with pre-defined test cases and reporting.
  • Increased Confidence: Ensure your library implementations meet the highest safety standards.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Meet the requirements of functional safety standards with comprehensive documentation.
  • Risk Mitigation: Identify and address potential issues in library implementations before deployment.
  • Flexibility: Qualify third-party, open-source, or custom library implementations with the same robust process.

SuperTest Compiler Test and Validation Suite

SuperTest is the test and validation suite for C and C++ compilers and libraries that has tracked the (ISO) language specifications for more than 40 years. It is a complete validation environment with:

A huge collection of hand-written test
A large body of generated tests
A configurable test driver to easily set up and run validations
A report generator that provides comprehensive overviews of validation results in multiple formats, including HTML and JUnit XML, and will immediately identify regressions of the latest compiler and library version compared to a designated reference
