Hello Everyone, I’m Eric Cloninger and I’ll be your guide to all things Android at Klocwork. This is a section of the Klocwork site that has been quiet in the past, but we’re about to take off.

The message is simple, fix your bugs before you check in your code. Many of the organizations I deal with have a mismatch of environments and tools. In the world of writing code it is not uncommon to find developers using Emacs, Vim, Visual Studio, Eclipse or any number of IDEs/text editors. Nothing wrong with this, although it doesn’t offer a clean, repeatable environment but
