The FDA recommends implementing a coding standard during medical device software development. In practice, this means running a static analysis tool to detect any problematic constructs that could lead to problems down the road.
But if you think you can simply download an analyzer and go, you might consider that the FDA requires documented details associated with code quality activities.
What standard are you going to check against? What rules in the analyzer cover the standard? Which rules are you suppressing? The implementation of static analysis is enough to cause headaches, gastrointestinal discomfort, and other side-effects.
This webinar prescribes some static analysis implementation best practices to relieve your FDA compliance symptoms, including:
The benefits of static analysis and what to look for in an analyzer
How to automate static analysis execution
How to integrate static analysis within your software development processes.
How to reduce noise and stop wasting time manually triaging results
Parasoft delivers a complete framework to create, manage, and extract greater value from unit tests. We help you exercise and test an incomplete system—enabling you to identify problems when they are least difficult, costly, and time-consuming to fix. This reduces the length and cost of downstream processes such as debugging. Moreover, since all tests are written at the unit level, the test suite can be run independent of the complete system. This allows you to isolate code behavior changes, reduces setup complexities, and makes it practical to execute the test suite on a daily basis.
This presentation is about applying test automation to embedded devices. It also contains recommendations on how to handle specific features of embedded devices, such as their “True Real Time” type, a non-PC platforms and absence of a debug port.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

1. EMBEDDED
Parasoft C++testTM – Comprehensive Code Quality Tools for Wind River® Workbench
As the software components in embedded systems are becoming increasingly critical, the attention to quality in embedded software increases across
the board. Long-standing quality strategies such as testing with a debugger are no longer efficient or sufficient. To further complicate matters, many
developers cannot readily run a test program in the actual deployment environment because they lack access to the final system hardware. To
address these challenges, code quality needs to be realized throughout the development lifecycle—using a synergy of time-proven techniques for
early defect prevention, assisted by automation for implementation and monitoring.
C++test from Parasoft Embedded enables teams to produce better code for embedded systems, test it more efficiently, and consistently monitor
progress towards their quality goals. With C++test, critical time-proven best practices—such as static analysis, comprehensive code review, and unit
and component testing with integrated coverage analysis—are enabled on the developer’s desktop, early in the development cycle. A command line
interface enables fully automated execution within regression and continuous integration environments, providing data for monitoring and analyzing
quality trends.
For highly quality-sensitive industries, such as avionics, medical, automobile, transportation, and industrial automation, the addition of Parasoft’s
Web-based audit and reporting system, with interactive Web-based dashboards and drill-down capability powered by a SQL database, enables an
efficient and auditable quality process with complete visibility into compliance efforts.
C++test Wind River Workbench Integration
The C++test plugin for Wind River® Workbench provides Workbench users easy
access to C++test’s full code analysis, code review, and unit testing capabilities
directly within their IDE. This seamless integration enables testing and verification
to become a natural and continuous part of the development process. The complete
target-based test execution flow, including test case generation, cross-
compilation, deployment, execution, and loading results back into the GUI, can be
automated within C++test. C++test leverages Wind River CDT to provide context-
sensitive pop-up menus and views.
C++test is available as a plug in for Wind River Workbench 2.6 and 3.0 IDEs and
supports both VxWorks® and Wind River Linux RTOS. In addition, a standalone
C++test installation provides built-in support for import and analysis of Tornado®
projects. C++test is available for Windows, Linux, and Solaris host platforms.
Automate Code Analysis for Monitoring Compliance The C++test plugin for Wind River Workbench provides Workbench users with easy access
to full C++test feature set right in the IDE. Unit test and coverage results shown.
A properly implemented coding policy can eliminate entire classes of programming
errors by establishing preventive coding conventions. C++test statically analyzes
code to check compliance with such a policy. To configure C++test to enforce a
coding standards policy specific to their group or organization, users can define
their own rule sets with built-in and custom rules. Code analysis reports can be
generated in a variety of formats, including HTML and PDF.
Hundreds of built-in rules—including implementations of MISRA, MISRA 2004, and
the new MISRA C++ standards, as well as guidelines from Meyers’ Effective C++ and
Effective STL books, and other popular sources—help identify potential bugs from
improper C/C++ language usage, enforce best coding practices, and improve code
maintainability and reusability. Custom rules, which are created with a graphical
RuleWizard editor, can enforce standard API usage and prevent the recurrence of
application-specific defects after a single instance has been found. Dashboards track key development metrics
2. Identify Runtime Defects Without Executing Software
The advanced interprocedural static analysis module of C++test simulates feasible application execution paths—which may cross multiple
functions and files—and determines whether these paths could trigger specific categories of runtime bugs. Defects detected include using
uninitialized or invalid memory, null pointer dereferencing, array and buffer overflows, division by zero, memory and resource leaks, and various
flavors of dead code. The ability to expose bugs without executing code is especially valuable for embedded code, where detailed runtime
analysis for such errors is often not effective or possible.
C++test greatly simplifies defect analysis by providing a complete analyzed path trace for each potential defect in the Eclipse IDE. Automatic
cross-links to code help users quickly jump to any point in the highlighted analysis path.
Automated Code Review
Code review is known to be the most effective approach to uncover code defects. The C++test Code Review module automates preparation,
notification, and tracking of peer code reviews. Status of all code reviews, including all comments by reviewers, is maintained and automatically
distributed by the C++test infrastructure. C++test supports two typical code review flows using the IDE facilities:
Post-commit code review. This mode is based on automatic identification of code
changes in a source repository via custom source control interfaces, and creating code
review tasks based on pre-set mapping of changed code to reviewers.
HOST (DEVELOPMENT) ENVIRONMENT Pre-commit code review. Users can initiate a code review from the desktop by selecting
a set of files to distribute for the review, or automatically identify all locally changed
source code.
