The Compiler Qualification Service is built for developers and companies working in safety-critical domains (automotive, railway, industrial control, etc.) who need to demonstrate tool confidence for their compiler, without building a full test lab in-house.
Using the SuperTest Suite, Solid Sands engineers perform ISO-compliant testing tailored to your compiler’s use case. The process includes:
-
Setting qualification scope (compiler options, target architecture, language version)
-
Running test programs on your actual or simulated hardware
-
Analyzing compiler behavior, comparing against standard expectations
-
Producing a Qualification Report with identified deviations and limitations
-
Delivering a Safety Manual that defines required usage mitigations
To enhance compliance enforcement, you can opt for the Application Hazard Scanner, a static analysis tool (built using BUGSENG's ECLAIR) that:
-
Parses your application source code and build process
-
Flags hazardous language usage automatically
-
Diagnoses violations of compiler safety restrictions
-
Enforces only the approved compiler option combinations
-
Ensures that the safety manual is followed systematically
This makes the service ideal for:
-
Teams lacking in-house compiler testing expertise
-
Projects under tight deadlines
-
Organizations seeking trusted third-party validation
-
Compiler vendors wanting impartial quality confirmation
