What do you like best?
Parasoft C/C++ test works great for static analysis and Unit testing.
Static Analysis: There are more than 1600 predefined rules that can be chosen as per your coding standards. Customizing or creating a rule is also possible in the tool but this could go lot complex and you may need Parasoft help to create some complex rules.
