I had an interesting conversation recently about the after-effects of Heartbleed and the challenges facing static analysis with Barton Miller, the chief scientist of the Software Assurance Marketplace ...

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 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 ...

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) ...

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 ...

Static source code analysis tools have evolved from simple syntax checkers to powerful tools for identifying flaws in the complex interactions of large code bases. Until recently, however, they were ...

It has become standard fare for large, enterprise organizations to reach out to the open source community to fill the void between the software their projects need, and the amount of software their ...
