Use our CodeCheck feature to eliminate bugs, comply with coding standards, and track progress.
Understand provides a tool called CodeCheck to make sure your code conforms to published coding standards or your own custom standards. These checks can be automated to verify naming guidelines, metric requirements, published best practices, and more.
We have hundreds of pre-made rules to allow immediate compliance with MISRA and AUTOSAR. Understand also comes with hundreds of "best practice" coding standards to ensure safety with every commit. Do you have unique coding standards not included in our default rules? No problem, Understand is compatible with custom standards, or ask us to write them for you!
All rules come standard with every installation of Understand.
Do you prefer complete control over your coding environment? Understand comes bundled with a robust API to unlock your project's full potential.
Our API allows the creation of custom graphs, metrics, and lexical analysis. Integrating with your current tools is now easier than ever! Learn More
Verify code compliance, ensure code complexity stays below a specified threshold, or email the team a code comparison graph all from your existing pipeline. Learn More
Create and enforce any custom coding standard. We can teach you how to write a standard or simply hire us to handle the entire process for you! Learn More

Safety is our top priority at Scitools, our software is heavily tested and vetted before each release providing your team with a safe and secure development environment.
Whether you're working against industry standards or your own, CodeCheck makes sure your code is compliant.
If you need a tool to check C++ code, you've come to the right place. But it doesn't stop there–CodeCheck verifies code against a variety of popular coding languages including python, java, and more.
Write your own CodeCheck scripts using Understand's Python API. You can even write scripts for your scripts. Understand is that good.
With certifications in ISO 26262, IEC 61508, and EN 50128, CodeCheck is ready to verify your code against multiple industry standards from day one. AUTOSAR, MISRA, and C++ are all industry standards against which CodeCheck is able to verify your code. If you don't work with any of these standards, CodeCheck is also able to verify code against your own defined standard to ensure it is fully compliant.
Beningo Embedded Group uses Understand for static analysis, metrics, graphs, and dependency analysis.
“What would have previously taken me several days (or weeks) can now be accomplished in a matter of hours… It’s the Swiss army knife of static analysis tools.”
“[Understand] is good for discovering the structure of the code dependencies and call-paths... it would have taken me hours to generate the same thing on my own.”
“Understand accelerates my understanding of large source code repositories.”
Chris Rhodes, Senior Software Engineer
