    •
Tool (Solution):  Coscend's Stack Memory Corruption Detector
  • Detects errors in an automated way.

    •
Benefits
  • Issues may be found in hours instead of weeks and months.
  • Applications are made to core when first time the corruption happens, rather than when the corrupted memory is being accessed.
  • Can be applied in-house at client’s site, errors can be captured upfront and fixed before the product hits their customer site.
  • Eliminate high-cost debugging sessions at customer premises.
    •
Impact
