Case Study: Pforzheim University achieves improved code quality and reduced testing effort with Parasoft C/C++test
A Parasoft Case Study
Pforzheim University Relies on Automated Software Testing Solution for Computer Engineering Program
Pforzheim University’s School of Engineering uses its Computer Engineering program to teach the software–hardware skills needed for modern microelectronic systems. The challenge was giving students practical, standards-driven C/C++ testing experience (MISRA, AUTOSAR, CERT) and ensuring code quality and compliance within limited lab time while preparing graduates for industry expectations.
The university deployed Parasoft C/C++test via virtual machines and Eclipse integration to provide static analysis, automated test generation, unit and state-based testing, and detailed reports. This gave students hands-on use of industry tools, automated personalized feedback (without automatic fixes so students learn corrections), reduced manual compliance effort, improved code quality, and stronger readiness for professional software development.
