'''Parasoft C/C++test''' is a combined set of tools that helps developers test their software. It's delivered as a standalone application that runs from the command line, or as a plug-in to Eclipse or Microsoft Visual studio. Various modules in the set assist software developers in performing static and dynamic analysis, creating, executing and maintaining unit tests, measuring code coverage and other software metrics, and executing regression tests.

The errors that C/C++test discovers include [[uninitialized variable|uninitialized]] or [[memory safety|invalid memory]], [[Null_pointer#DereferencingNull dereferencing|null pointer dereferencing]], array and [[buffer overflow]], [[division by zero]], [[memory leak|memory and resource leaks]], duplicate code, and various types of [[dead code|dead]] or [[unreachable code|unreachable]] code.
