Case Study: KPIT achieves MISRA compliance and reduced code rework with PRQA Helix QAC

From Compliance to Exploitation: Defect Prevention is Better than Cure

KPIT develops embedded systems for tier 1 automotive OEMs, including air suspension, anti-lock braking systems, adaptive cruise control, roll stability control, and power steering systems. To meet strict customer acceptance criteria, its code needed to comply with the MISRA standard, while a growing global development team made it harder to maintain consistent code quality and avoid late-stage rework.

KPIT chose PRQA’s Helix QAC static code analyzer, using the MISRA C compliance module across its development teams. PRQA’s Helix QAC gave developers immediate feedback, reduced code rework after verification and validation by 50%, and improved delivery times. KPIT also used the analysis data to track software quality metrics and strengthen engineer training around frequently violated coding rules.
