MISRA-C

MISRA-C started in 1994 by two UK automotive companies. It was published in 1998 and thanks to efforts by Programming Research, LDRA, Chris Hills and others it escaped into mainstream use in the embedded development space. in 2001 a team was formed to create a second version. Initially predominantly automotive participants it soon became a guide for critical systems rather than automotive ones.

the second version was launched in 2004 by which time many tool vendors were producing MISRA checkers and software that was "MISRA Compliant" In 2007 a Technical Corrigendum saw produced for MISRA-C:2004 along with an Exemplar code suite. NOT a test suite.

In 2008 the team expanded from 8 to 12 people and became international with a view across nuclear, aerospace, automotive and medical systems
