AbsInt
AbsInt develops advanced tools and services for static analysis and formal verification of embedded software. Their solutions help engineering teams analyze and verify critical aspects such as runtime errors, timing behavior, stack usage and coding standard compliance, without executing the code.
With a strong focus on safety-critical environments, AbsInt enables organizations to build software that meets the highest requirements in reliability, safety and certification.
Tools & Knowledge
Astrée – Static Analysis for Runtime Error Proof
Prove the absence of runtime errors in C and C++ code. Astrée uses formal static analysis to guarantee software correctness in safety-critical embedded systems.
RuleChecker – Coding Guideline Compliance
Ensure compliance with MISRA, AUTOSAR and other coding standards. RuleChecker helps you detect violations early, improve code quality and streamline certification.
CompCert – Formally Verified C Compiler
CompCert is the only production C compiler that is formally verified using mathematical proofs, eliminating the risk of miscompilation. This enables engineers to build safety-critical software with unmatched confidence in the correctness of the generated code.
aiT – Worst-Case Execution Time (WCET) Analysis
Guarantee worst-case execution time in embedded software. aiT computes safe timing bounds across all execution paths, inputs, and hardware states, without relying on testing or measurement.
AbsInt: Embedded software tools for safety-critical systems
Why AbsInt?
In complex embedded systems, traditional testing alone is not sufficient. It can detect defects, but cannot guarantee their absence. AbsInt addresses this challenge by applying static analysis and formal methods to verify software behavior before runtime.
This approach enables engineering teams to:
- Gain deeper insight into software behavior early in development
- Prevent critical runtime issues instead of detecting them afterwards
- Support compliance with strict safety standards
- Increase confidence in both functional correctness and system stability
AbsInt is widely used in industries where software failure is not an option, including aerospace, automotive, energy and high-tech systems.
Why AbsInt fits Logic Technology
At Logic Technology, we help companies accelerate the development of safer and more reliable embedded products by providing independent advice and best-in-class tooling.
AbsInt strengthens this proposition at the highest level of software assurance.
Where many tools focus on testing and debugging, AbsInt enables a shift towards:
- Analyzing instead of guessing
- Preventing instead of detecting
- Understanding worst-case behavior instead of average behavior
This makes AbsInt particularly valuable for organizations dealing with:
- Safety-critical or mission-critical software
- Certification processes such as ISO 26262 or DO-178C
- Real-time constraints and deterministic behavior
- Highly complex embedded architectures
By combining AbsInt’s technology with Logic’s independent consultancy, we help you determine when formal methods add value and how to integrate them effectively into your development workflow.
