Get Started with Polyspace as You Code

Polyspace^® as You Code™ is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) plugin that checks C/C++ source files for defects, coding rules violations, and code metrics. It helps you detect issues before submitting your changes for integration.

You get instant feedback on more than 300 types of defects, including buffer overflows and divide-by-zero errors. You can check compliance with coding standards like MISRA C™:2023, MISRA™ C++:2023, CERT^® C/C++, and CWE™. Findings appear directly in the IDE with diagnostic explanations and recommended corrections.

Polyspace as You Code works with Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio^®, and Eclipse™. It can connect with Polyspace Access™ to sync local findings with defects from integration branches to prevent duplicating reviews.
