Your Tests Passed. Your Code Isn't Necessarily Safe.

Traditional testing confirms expected behavior. It can't prove the absence of what you didn't test for. For C and C++ codebases, that's where buffer overflows, integer overflows, and undefined behaviors hide, passing every test, right up until they don't.

This Technical Brief examines how formal methods-based exhaustive static analysis closes that gap, with real code examples and a direct comparison against traditional verification methods.

What's inside:

• Why 100% code coverage doesn't equal 100% verification confidence
• How sound analysis eliminates false negatives — and cuts false positives
• Hardware-aware testing before your physical target is available
• Real examples showing where traditional tools fail and formal methods catch what's missed
