The ubiquitous nature of embedded software has made source code analysis a critical component of the development process. Gwyn discusses the impact this technology has on software security and reliability, and emphasizes the importance of making static analysis a natural part of a developer’s coding practice. ECD: As embedded developers turn to multicore processors to optimize performance, how can analysis tools help control inevitable cost and schedule problems? FISHER: Any new development is an exercise in balancing expectation against risk. In the case of multicore, the naive expectation is always linear acceleration tempered perhaps by

Alen Zukich, director of product management for Klocwork, said the “on-the-fly” analysis portion of Klocwork Insight provides a series of checker libraries that developers can turn on and off at will. It is fully customizable and allows developers to see a red underline, similar to Microsoft Word’s spell check functionality, when an error is detected in code in Visual Studio. “Developers can look for

For the first time, C/C++ developers can access sophisticated source code analysis using the simple usability model of a spell checker. The new release introduces an on-the-fly user model, where a developer’s interaction with the tool has been dramatically simplified. On-the-fly analysis, similar to the spell check feature in popular word processors, enables Klocwork Insight to instantly underline defects as developers are writing their code. In the background,
Read More »Klocwork has reached the 9.5 version release of its Insight source code analysis (SCA) tool. Attempting to break open a new demand stream for its product, the company has adjusted its usage model to make it work on-the-fly in the style of a spellchecker to analyze code as a developer types. Klockwork is now making a conscious effort to move away from “batch processing” deployments where all code analysis is centralized; the company hopes to give C/C++ programmers the same kind of tools that many web developers are already used to. With a direct emphasis
Read More »Klocwork, a company known for its Insight software that performs source code analysis on-the-fly, has released a new version of its flagship product that offers C/C++ developers the same tools that web application developers have been using for some time. Given the fact that attackers are still exploiting application vulnerabilities, source code analysis and checking is a major part of the development lifecycle and QA process. Klocwork has offered their Insight engine for years, and the latest version offers the same level of performance and security checking as seen in the past, but expands that
Read More »To keep pace with ever-increasing customer demands on software functionality and time-to-market expectations, software developers have had to evolve the way they develop code. The result is the emergence and rapid adoption of the Agile software development methodology. By embracing the ‘early and often’ mantra of Agile, individual software teams and even entire software development organizations can deliver more technology, to more satisfied customers, earlier and more frequently than ever before. However, the reality for many teams trying to successfully execute on the Agile principles is a backlog of software defects interfering with their ability
