Compliance You Can Prove. Safer Software You Can Trust.
Perforce QAC helps engineering teams in safety-critical environments identify deep software defects, enforce coding standards, and demonstrate compliance with confidence. Built for C, C++, and Rust, QAC combines market-leading MISRA coverage, deep static analysis, and qualified functional safety support to help organizations reduce risk without slowing development.
Why Government and Defense Organizations Choose QAC
Achieve Compliance with Confidence
Support compliance initiatives for safety-critical software development with qualification materials, certification support, and extensive coverage of industry standards. QAC helps organizations generate defensible evidence for audits, assessments, and program reviews.
Reduce Mission and Program Risk
Identify deep, high-severity defects earlier in development before they become field failures, certification blockers, or costly remediation efforts. QAC's deep analysis helps teams uncover issues that traditional testing and code reviews may miss.
Enforce Secure and Reliable Coding Practices
Ensure consistent compliance with coding standards and security-focused development requirements across complex software programs, helping reduce vulnerabilities and improve software quality.
Accelerate Compliance and Audit Readiness
Replace manual evidence collection with automated reporting, traceable diagnostics, and centralized compliance visibility. Teams gain faster access to the information required for internal reviews and external audits.
Static Analysis for High-Assurance Development
Support Critical Safety and Security Standards
Perforce QAC helps organizations align software development with major functional safety and security standards, including: DO-330 | IEC 61508 | IEC 62304 | EN 50716 | IEC 62061 | IEC 60880 | ISO 26262 | AUTOSAR | CERT C/C++ | CWE
QAC also provides qualification kits and TÜV-certified support for safety-related software development activities.
Industry-Leading Coding Standards Coverage
- 100% MISRA compliance coverage
- MISRA C and MISRA C++ support
Perforce experts actively contribute to MISRA standards development, ensuring organizations can rely on trusted and accurate compliance analysis.
Deep Static Analysis for Mission-Critical Systems
QAC uses inter-procedural dataflow analysis and abstract interpretation to identify complex defects across C, C++, and Rust codebases. The result is deeper visibility into potential software weaknesses with fewer false positives and greater confidence in findings.
Continuous Compliance and Governance
- Centralized compliance reporting
- Deviation and waiver management
- Traceability across development environments
- Compliance trend monitoring
- Shared visibility for engineering, quality, security, and program stakeholders
Organizations gain continuous insight into compliance status rather than relying on point-in-time reviews.
