Fulfill. Prove. Certify.
Equip Your Team With Defensible Compliance Outcomes for the World’s Strictest Safety Standards.
When fragmented reporting and complex safety standards delay approvals, teams struggle to prove code quality, functional safety, and MISRA® compliance. Perforce QAC accelerates certification with a trusted, certified solution — delivering traceable, audit-ready reporting across complex C, C++, and Rust codebases.
Deliver Safer, More Compliant Software With QAC
Perforce safety experts actively shape MISRA and Rust standards (currently in development). With nearly 40 years of experience and backed by experts who actively participate in MISRA C/C++ and Rust standards committees, Perforce is your trusted advisor in regulated production environments.
MISRA
MISRA addresses the unique challenges posed by C and C++ in safety-critical applications. Get 100% MISRA coverage and extend enforcement through custom rules and compliance modules to align with both industry standards and internal policies. QAC provides broader coverage than most solutions, delivering deeper insights across complex codebases.
Rust
Rust is known for its built-in memory-safety guarantees, but Rust alone is not enough to ensure full software safety. Catch the deep logic, unsafe blocks, concurrency, and many other vulnerabilities early to tackle Rust blind spots.
Deep, Accurate Coverage. Reduced Risk in Safety-Critical Code. Centralized Compliance.
