Preview Questions Software Engineer (Aerospace) | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: What is the significance of "Static Analysis" tools in C/C++ for aerospace software development, and how do these tools help ensure software reliability?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Static analysis tools are only useful for testing the final product, not during development

Static analysis tools cannot detect issues in real-time systems

Static analysis tools detect potential coding errors, vulnerabilities, and compliance issues early, improving software reliability

Static analysis tools are irrelevant for aerospace software development
