Release date: April 28, 2020

This release includes the following enhancements:

New Versioning Convention

All Parasoft products, including C/C++test, now follow a new versioning scheme: YYYY.release.

Extended Automotive Compliance Pack

We've extended the Automotive Pack to help you achieve compliance with the automotive standards.

MISRA C:2012 Amendment 2

We've added new rules to the MISRA C 2012 test configuration to fully cover the guidelines in MISRA C 2012 Amendment 2.

AUTOSAR C++ 14

We've added new rules to the AUTOSAR C++14 Coding Guidelines test configuration and updated the existing rules to extend support for AUTOSAR C++ 14 .

Increasing Code Coverage with Coverage Advisor

You can now effectively implement strategies for increasing code coverage with Coverage Advisor. Coverage Advisor provides guidance for covering gaps in code coverage by analyzing code and displaying available solutions of how to set up your tests to cover uncovered lines. The information about required dependencies and pre-conditions for parameters, global variables, and function calls is displayed in the Coverage Advisor view. This allows you to reduce the time and effort of manually creating meaningful test cases and appropriate stubs. See Working with Coverage Advisor.

Support for Source Control Management Systems

We've added support for:

  • Git 1.8, 1.9, 2.x
  • SVN 1.10, 1.11, 1.12, 1.13
  • Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2017, 2018, 2019

See Deprecated Support for Environments, Systems, and Configurations for information about deprecated and removed support for source control management systems.

New and Updated Test Configurations

We've updated the following test configurations:

  • AUTOSAR C++14 Coding Guidelines
  • CWE Top 25 + On the Cusp 2019
  • Flow Analysis Aggressive
  • Flow Analysis Standard
  • High Integrity C++
  • MISRA C 2012
  • MISRA C++ 2008
  • SEI CERT C Guidelines
  • SEI CERT C Rules
  • SEI CERT C++ Rules

New and Updated Code Analysis Rules

We've added new static analysis rules to extend coverage of compliance standards, with a special focus on the AUTOSAR C++ 14 and MISRA C:2012 Amendment 2; see New Rules and Updated Rules for the lists of new and updated rules.

Other Updates

  • We've extended support for authentication via OpenID Connect. C/C++test now supports keystores with certificates for multiple users.

  • We've upgraded the built-in Python runtime to Python 2.7. Python-related errors from Rule Wizard rules are now reported as setup problems.
  • You can now configure C/C++test to return a non-zero exit code when a setup problem is reported. See Command Line Exit Codes.
  • We've improved performance of test configurations where multiple duplicates of the same flow-based rule are enabled.

Deprecated Support for Environments, Systems, and Configurations

Support for the following environments and systems is now deprecated and will be removed in future releases.

Windows 7

Support for Windows 7 is deprecated, following the system's EOL.

Source Control Management Systems

Support for the following SCMs is deprecated:

  • AccuRev
