Software quality assurance: static code analysis and coding standards (on-campus presentation by PRQA) — Oct. 29

Two tools that help finding and preventing software bugs are static code analysis and coding standards. Those tools are used in industries where reliability and flawless operation are critical, such as automotive, aerospace, and other industries where automated systems control essential operations and functions. Programming Research (PRQA), a company that provides software-development quality-assurance tools used in automotive and aerospace industries will be giving a morning presentation on those topics and an afternoon demonstration of their tools on Wed., Oct 29, in the Duderstadt Center. In the morning, PRQA and an industry representative will speak about existing coding standards, software quality-assurance practices, and software-engineering practices in industry. In the afternoon, PRQA will give a product demonstration. Their software will be available for use, and participants will be able to ask questions of the PRQA engineer and the industry representative. These topics should be of particular interest to those working in software engineering for automotive, aerospace, control systems, and other embedded systems applications. Wednesday, Oct. 29 Morning Session: 9 – 11:30 a.m., 1180 Duderstadt Center Afternoon Session: 1:30 – 4:30 p.m., 3358 Duderstadt Center
