MISRA-C defines rules and guidelines. Rules are verifiable by static analysis tools and are always required. MISRA-C:2012, also known as the Motor Industry Software Reliability Association (MISRA-C) C Coding Standard, is a set of coding rules and guidelines that are designed to help ensure the safety and reliability of software written in the C programming language. MISRA-C defines rules and guidelines that are intended to help avoid anomalies in code, such as buffer overflows and incorrect pointer manipulation. Rules are verifiable by static analysis tools, and are always required. Guidelines are best-practice recommendations, and are not always enforced.

According to Automotive SPICE®, Hardware-in-the-Loop-Tests (HIL-Tests) are not an appropriate component of a verification strategy for unit tests (software units) that are manually coded. HIL-Tests are used to test the interaction of the software system with the actual hardware to ensure the correct behavior of the system. However, these tests are not suitable for manually-coded software units and instead, verification strategies should include tools supported static analysis and code reviews. Unit tests (test of software units) are also an appropriate component of a verification strategy for manually-coded software units.

This is because the tested software must be implemented in the real control unit, and the interface is necessary to ensure communication between the software and the real vehicle or prototype.
