Benefits

In this one-day seminar learn about the objective of MISRA rules for error prevention in safety-critical software. In addition to the practical applicability of the rules, the integration of rule checking in the development process will be discussed. How to achieve MISRA conformance?

Target group

  • Software developer
  • Technical project manager

Prerequisites

  • Any C Compiler that is compatible with ANSI C89 or ISO C90 can be used. For MISRA C:2012 the compiler must support the C99 standard, which is the case for most compilers in use today. The recommended platforms are Windows, MacOSX, UNIX or Linux systems.
  • The only important thing is that course participants master the C programming language and simple data operations on the system they use. A selection of rules are explained with real program examples.

Handouts

MISRA C:2012 guidelines (PDF) licensed for each participant.

Overview

In this MISRA C course, the development of safety-critical software written in ANSI/ISO C (C89/90 and C99 variants) for embedded systems in the automotive field is covered. The possible reasons for failure are analysed and discussed. Typical failures occurring in the implementation with standard C are classified and associated to the MISRA rules. In addition to the rules, the structure of MISRA Rule Documents from 2012 are discussed. The rules themselves are covered in detail and the documentation requirements necessary to prove compliance are discussed.

The aim of the seminar is to get to know the principles and rules that MISRA offers for failure prevention in C projects. To approach this technical subject matter, the introduction of coding guidelines in software projects may also be discussed.
