About BUGSENG
BUGSENG srl (Parma, Italy) is a new company with a long tradition in automated software verification. The founders, who work in the field since more than 15 years, made important contributions to the theory and practice of program verification.
ECLAIR is a powerful, flexible and extensible platform for the analysis of C and C++ (and soon Java) source-code. It supports both syntactic analyses and semantic analyses based on the latest developments of abstract interpretation, model-checking and constraint-based reasoning. Applications include: validation of coding rules (either user-defined or taken from popular coding standards: MISRA, CERT, NASA/JPL, ESA/BSCC, JSF, High-Integrity, Netrino, …); automatic test-case generation for coverage and triggering of run-time anomalies or proof of their absence; semantic matching and patching.
