One of the best ways to protect your software project from avoidable bugs is the use of Java static code analysis tools. These tools can help identify and fix problematic code before it reaches ...

How exhaustive static analysis overcomes the limitations of traditional tests and static-analysis tools. How exhaustive static analysis identifies a buffer overflow by using code samples. How hardware ...

being a user of PCLINT for some years now (private and professional), I was thinking whether some static analysis tool could help our company to spot issues like 32 vs. 64bit discrepancies and - more ...

Static code analysis and bug detection are integral to modern software engineering, providing a systematic approach to identify defects and security vulnerabilities without executing the code. By ...

Static analysis isn’t dead like some have suggested. Has static analysis lost some of it’s luster? Absolutely! Many of the studies would suggest that static analysis tools (commercial and open-source) ...

Static analysis works on source code and tries to identify errors based on what it can tell about the program. For example, it can highlight “dead code” that will never execute. And sometimes it can ...

The high cost of finding and patching application flaws is well known. Wouldn’t it be cheaper to write secure code in the first place? One of the fastest growing areas in the software security ...

When should static analysis be applied?” The answer to this question is fairly straightforward: “whenever code is being developed.” This however, is a simplification, writes Bill Graham The longer ...
