Software Assurance

Paragon Research Corporation (PRC) offers comprehensive software assurance capabilities, leveraging our expertise in development and verification processes. Our approach combines rigorous methodologies with cutting-edge tools to ensure the highest software quality, security, and reliability levels. PRC’s software assurance process begins with thorough requirements analysis and formalized software/firmware specifications, utilizing tools like DOORS for requirements management. We employ advanced static analysis techniques, including SMART metrics and heat map prioritization, to identify potential vulnerabilities early in the development cycle and for post-deployed systems. Our team conducts in-depth design analysis using the Design Structure Matrix and Architecture Tradeoff Analysis methods. Paragon’s testing capabilities are extensive, encompassing unit testing, integration testing, and property-based testing, often utilizing hardware emulation and Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) setups for real-world validation. We apply formal software proving methods through our Software Proving Ground, mathematically verifying software correctness. Our Agile Infrastructure, including the DI2E Tool Suite, ensures responsiveness to changes and continuous stakeholder involvement. PRC’s capabilities extend to critical systems, including weapon platforms, sensors, and cyber security solutions. By combining these robust assurance practices with our software development expertise and utilizing tools like CodePeer, Astree, and Polyspace, PRC delivers software solutions that meet the highest reliability, security, and performance standards crucial for defense, aerospace, and critical infrastructure applications.
