Andes Technology Names Parasoft as Partner of the Year for Advancing RISC-V Automotive Functional Safety and Software Quality

The award recognizes Parasoft’s outstanding contribution to mission-critical RISC-V applications by providing automated, certified software testing solutions integrated with AndeSight™ IDE.

Hsinchu – Nov. 11, 2026– Andes Technology (TWSE: 6533), a leading supplier of high-efficiency, low-power 32/64-bit RISC-V processor cores and a Founding Premier member of RISC-V International, today announced that it has awarded Parasoft, a global leader in automated software testing for safety- and security-critical software, with the Andes Partner of the Year 2026 award.

This recognition honors Parasoft’s continuous dedication and collaboration in expanding the RISC-V software ecosystem, specifically in delivering seamless, certified automated testing tools that accelerate ISO26262 functional safety and IEC 61508 compliance for developers utilizing AndesCore™ processors.

Building upon the successful collaboration that integrates Parasoft C/C++test with Andes’ flagship integrated development environment, AndeSight™ IDE, the partnership enables embedded developers to streamline static code analysis (supporting MISRA C/C++, AUTOSAR C++14, and CERT C/C++), unit testing, code coverage, and runtime error detection directly within their daily workflows. Together, Andes and Parasoft have significantly reduced the time, cost, and complexity of validating mission-critical automotive and industrial applications.

“Software reliability and stringent compliance have become paramount as RISC-V adoption accelerates across automotive, industrial, and safety-critical markets,” said Dr. Charlie Su, President and CTO of Andes Technology. “Parasoft has been an exceptional partner in our ecosystem. By tightly coupling Parasoft C/C++test with AndeSight™ IDE, our common customers can significantly reduce their effort to meet the rigorous demands of ISO26262 certifications up to ASIL D. We are proud to honor Parasoft as our Partner of the Year 2026 and look forward to further strengthening our collaboration.”

“We are deeply honored to receive the Partner of the Year award from Andes Technology,” said Yue Liu, Vice President of Greater China at Parasoft. “As RISC-V architectures see increasingly widespread adoption in automotive electronics and industrial safety, functional safety compliance has become a critical challenge that domestic chip companies must address. By deeply integrating Parasoft C/C++test with AndeSight™ we have effectively supported RISC-V chip and embedded development teams in efficiently achieving ISO 26262 and IEC 61508 compliance verification. Looking ahead, we will continue to deepen our strategic collaboration across technical and market dimensions, providing solid support for more RISC-V safety-critical projects.”

“From a product and AI-testing-strategy perspective, the next leap for RISC-V safety-critical development is embedding certified quality directly into the developer’s daily workflow,” said Igor Kirilenko, Chief Product Officer & AI Testing Strategist at Parasoft. “Our deep integration with AndeSight™ IDE pairs AI-assisted test generation and comprehensive static analysis with the rigorous evidence trail required for ISO 26262 and IEC 61508 certification. Together with Andes, we are making advanced functional-safety testing not just achievable, but effortless for RISC-V teams worldwide.” 

Through ongoing technical synergy, Andes and Parasoft will jointly empower more Tier-1 automotive suppliers, OEMs, and semiconductor innovators to develop safe, robust, and highly optimized RISC-V solutions for next-generation ADAS, in-vehicle infotainment (IVI), powertrain, and industrial edge computing.
