C-RUN – Runtime Analysis

What is C-RUN?

C-RUN is a high-performance runtime analysis add-on product, fully integrated with IAR Embedded Workbench. C-RUN performs runtime analysis by monitoring application execution directly within the development environment.  The tight integration with the toolchain improves development workflow and provides each developer with access to runtime analysis that is easy-to-use.

C-RUN is developed in house by compiler and debugger experts. The broad offering of features comes directly from the request of our customers, and research in developer needs.
What can C-RUN do for you as a developer?

C-RUN simplifies the task of performing runtime analysis. C-RUN is completely integrated in IAR Embedded Workbench, which means that no additional applications are needed.

C-RUN includes user-friendly features which makes it possible to include runtime analysis, every step of the way.

C-RUN performs runtime analysis as a natural part of the development cycle, adhering to options set by the user. The developer is able to pinpoint areas of interest by switching specific checks on and off as desired. C-RUN aids developers in structuring testing in an efficient manner, honing in on different analyses for each iteration.
