🔍 Advanced Static Analysis Solutions for Ada Software
At Spazio IT, software quality is one of our core competencies. For over twenty years, we have supported organizations developing safety-critical and mission-critical software by providing advanced solutions for software verification, validation, code quality assessment, and compliance with international standards.
Building on this experience, we actively develop open-source technologies that bring modern static analysis capabilities to the Ada ecosystem.
Our latest initiatives provide a complete solution for analyzing Ada source code, detecting quality issues early, and integrating software quality metrics into modern Continuous Integration (CI) and DevSecOps workflows.
🛠️ AdaLang Analyzer
Intelligent Static Analysis for Ada
AdaLang Analyzer is a modern static analysis framework for Ada based on Libadalang, the official Ada parsing and semantic analysis library.
Rather than relying on simple text matching, AdaLang Analyzer understands the syntax and semantics of Ada programs, allowing it to identify real software issues while significantly reducing false positives.
✨ Key Features
✅ Deep syntactic and semantic analysis
🛡️ Detection of potentially dangerous language constructs
🔀 Control-flow analysis
➗ Arithmetic safety checks
⚠️ Exception handling verification
🔍 Detection of suspicious expressions
📖 Maintainability and readability rules
📏 Coding guideline enforcement
📍 Precise diagnostics with exact source locations
Thanks to its modular architecture, new analysis rules can be easily added to support company-specific coding standards or project requirements.
The project is continuously evolving, with new analyses and quality checks being added over time.

📊 SonarAdaPlugin
Bringing Ada into SonarQube
Modern software projects rely on centralized quality dashboards to continuously monitor code quality.
To bring Ada into this ecosystem, Spazio IT developed SonarAdaPlugin, enabling Ada projects to be analyzed directly within SonarQube alongside Java, C/C++, Python, JavaScript, and many other languages.
✨ Features
📂 Ada language recognition
📑 Source code indexing
📈 Software metrics collection
🎨 Syntax highlighting
📋 Copy & Paste (duplication) detection
🔗 Import of AdaLang Analyzer results
📥 Import of AdaControl reports
🚨 Native SonarQube issue reporting
📊 Unified quality dashboards
This allows development teams to monitor software quality, technical debt, and coding standards using the same tools already adopted across their organization.
