Aircraft software is required to be a specific format, and the hardware must work across the organization and the Fleet. The static code analyzer Klocwork is used to find defects in code before software is released. Other manufacturers will not work with current Navy graphics, which means that using a different product will require all new and existing files to be converted into a new program’s format. This would create an enormous amount of time and duplication of costs, as well as lost support time during the conversion. Therefore, the code analysis software must be compatible with current interfaces and existing files. Klocwork license is currently integrated into the Navy environment. The updated Klocwork version will drop into our environment seamlessly while also allowing software developers to use new integration triggers to enhance productivity and reduce time-to-Fleet.
