Accelerate Embedded Systems Compliance with GitLab & CodeSonar

Accelerating Embedded Systems Compliance with GitLab and CodeSonar

Ensuring compliance in embedded software development projects has traditionally been a complex task. But the integration of CodeSonar with the GitLab platform offers a new path to streamline these efforts, enabling automation and traceability throughout the software lifecycle.

CodeSonar, a leading static application security testing (SAST) tool from GrammaTech, is designed for detecting critical defects, bugs, and compliance issues in safety-critical software applications. When seamlessly combined with GitLab’s complete DevSecOps platform, teams can continuously analyse code quality and guarantee compliance against standards such as ISO 26262, DO-178C, and MISRA.

By introducing CodeSonar into their GitLab CI/CD pipelines, developers can initiate static analysis as a standard part of the development process. This integration automates code scanning at each pipeline stage, presenting vulnerability findings directly inside merge requests. With this visibility, development teams receive instant feedback and can act swiftly to resolve issues.

This integration is particularly relevant for embedded systems working under regulatory constraints. Traditional compliance methods involving manual review and late-cycle testing often result in delays, audits, and missed defects. The automated analysis offered by GitLab and CodeSonar helps maintain ongoing compliance and traceability — reducing manual effort, increasing visibility, and keeping development velocity high.

IDEA GitLab Solutions, as a GitLab Select Partner, offers expert consulting and licensing for clients across Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, North Macedonia, United Kingdom, and globally via remote experts in Israel, South Africa, and Paraguay. We help organisations implement integrations like GitLab + CodeSonar to meet both functional and compliance goals.
