Watch On-Demand Webinar How to Get Started With C/C++test for VS Code In this post, I’m focusing on the static analysis for C/C++ but we also support C# with static analysis extension for Parasoft dotTEST. We decided to fill this gap and provide an extension for this great editor to help check the code you just wrote against your preferred coding standard, review the results, and fix or suppress them - all inside the VS Code. I mean the full standards support, Clang-Tidy, is cool but it covers only a fraction of these standards. Until the 2020.1 release of the Parasoft C/C++test in April, there was nothing that could help you to comply with MISRA, CERT, and AUTOSAR C++ coding standards without a need to leave the editor to check the results. However, there is a limited number of extensions for C/C++ static analysis. VS Code is supported by a vast ecosystem of extensions available through the marketplace. We often see it in use for developing safety-critical C/C++ software. Its popularity is not limited to the teams developing with JavaScript or TypeScript. It’s fast, simple, customizable, extensible, and runs on the three leading development platforms: Windows, Linux, and Mac.

In the latest Stack Overflow Annual Developer Survey, VS Code dominated the Development Environments and Tools category.

The popularity of the Visual Studio Code (VS Code) editor is growing at a rapid pace. In this blog post, I’ll share a couple of hints with you about configuring and using our brand new C/C++test static analysis extension for the Visual Studio Code editor.
