Case Study: Haldex improves embedded code quality with Perforce Helix QAC

How Haldex Uses Helix QAC for Quality Embedded Code

Haldex, a provider of brake solutions for the automotive industry, needed to ensure high-quality embedded code across a large and safety-critical codebase. Using Perforce’s Helix QAC for C and C++, Haldex aimed to prevent defects, maintain ISO/TS 16949 quality standards, and reduce false positives while analyzing projects with more than 90,000 lines of code.

Perforce’s Helix QAC helped Haldex enforce MISRA C compliance in braking systems and detect defects earlier in its Fleet+ smart trailer management software. Haldex reported that 25% of defects found later in testing could have been caught earlier with Helix QAC for C++, and fixes identified later took about two extra man-days on average, leading to a payback period of less than 18 months.
