Eliminate "Spaghetti Code" and automate certification with the world’s first Hybrid AI engine. From Architecture Analysis to 100% MC/DC Coverage.

TimeZero: The Total Testing Platform for Autonomous Functional Safety

  • In safety-critical industries, software defects are not just inconveniences—they are liabilities. History has taught us that a lack of rigorous testing and architectural discipline leads to catastrophe.
  • The Challenge: Standardized testing (DO-178C, IEC 61508, ISO 26262) is mandatory, but manual compliance is broken. It is slow, prone to human error, and struggles to keep pace with modern iterative development
  • The Solution: TimeZero is the "Total Testing Platform" that solves these headaches by combining advanced Static Analysis, Architectural Visualization (DSM), and AI-driven Test Generation into a single, autonomous workflow

Architectural Integrity & "Spaghetti Code" Prevention

Visualize Dependencies

We move beyond simple flowcharts to partition modules hierarchically, making hidden dependencies visible

Prevent Erosion

Our platform identifies "bad" dependencies (e.g., a Driver layer calling a Scheduler layer improperly) and flags them immediately

Lattix Integration

Leveraging powerful Lattix LDM technology, we allow you to establish independence rules and track architectural health over time with "Delta Reports"

Advanced Static Code Analysis (SCA) & Security

We have evolved far beyond the basic "Lint" checkers of the 1970s. TimeZero provides "Smart On-the-Fly Analysis" that includes whole-program inter-procedural control and data-flow analysis

Security Standards:

We support 7 out of the OWASP Top 10 (the maximum statically verifiable), 12 of the CWE/SANS Top 25, and full CERT Secure Coding standards.

Coding Standards

Full enforcement of MISRA C/C++ and AUTOSAR C++14, integrated directly into the developer's IDE

Memory Safety

Detection of buffer overruns, memory leaks, and uninitialized variables before dynamic testing even begins

Hybrid AI

New science based tool

TimeZero is not a wrapper for a generic chatbot. It is a specialized tool developed in collaboration with the Department of Computer Science at the University of Bath

RAG Architecture

We utilize a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture. Source code is chunked and stored in a Vector Database, allowing our embedded AI models to query context-specific code segments for accurate test generation

Symbolic Execution + LLM

We solve the "100% MC/DC" challenge by using a hybrid approach. When traditional SMT solvers (like Z3) hit complexity limits, our LLM engine (Claude/OpenAI) decomposes the constraints to generate valid test vectors for complex logic

Seamless Integration into the Modern SDLC

IDE Integration

e.g. VS Code

Version Control

Native GitHub integration

Requirements Management

Direct mapping to Jama and CodeBeamer for full traceability

Containerization

Full Docker support for reproducible build environments

Existing Toolchains

Compatible with Cantata, VectorCAST, Lattix, and Klocwork and more to come

Supported Standards & Industries

Our platform automates the evidence generation required for the most rigorous safety certifications

Automotive - ISO 26262 (ASIL D)

Full MISRA/AUTOSAR enforcement; 100% code coverage; automated hazard analysis

Medical Devices IEC 62304 / FDA

Automated Class A, B, and C classification support; "Design History File" generation; FDA software validation guidance compliance

Avionics DO-178C

Structural coverage analysis; object code verification support etc

Railway EN 50128

Safety case generation for signaling and control systems

Nuclear Industry IEC 60880

Deterministic code analysis for reactor control systems

Industrial IEC 61508

SIL 3/4 lifecycle management and regression testing

How does TimeZero help with FDA Medical Device submissions?

TimeZero directly addresses FDA guidelines for software validation. It automates the "Unit," "Integration," and "System" testing phases required by the FDA Furthermore, it assists in assigning Software Safety Classes (A, B, or C) per IEC 62304 and generates the necessary documentation for the Design History File, significantly reducing the risk of recall due to software defects (which account for 79% of recalls)

Can TimeZero handle "Legacy Code" or existing projects?

Yes. TimeZero is designed to support "stand-alone code coverage," allowing testing of legacy code without full re-engineering. It uses Architectural Analysis (DSM) to visualize the existing "spaghetti code" and guide safe refactoring, while automated regression testing ensures that new changes do not break existing functionality

What is the "Total Testing Platform"?

The "Total Testing Platform" is TimeZero's holistic approach that combines typically siloed activities into one dashboard. It includes Static Analysis (syntax/semantics), Dynamic Testing (Unit/Integration), Architecture Analysis (Dependency Matrix), Fuzzing, and FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) management. This consolidation reduces licensing conflicts and improves "Time-to-Market"

How does TimeZero achieve 100% MC/DC coverage?

We use a proprietary hybrid method developed with the University of Bath. It combines Symbolic Execution (using mathematical solvers like Z3) with Large Language Models (LLMs). The LLM understands the intent and constraints of complex code blocks that often stump traditional solvers, allowing it to generate precise test vectors that trigger every necessary condition for full coverage
