RSSThe value of peer code review is undeniable. But despite this, it continues to be a much-maligned milestone in the software development cycle. Code reviews are difficult to implement consistently, the review is often left incomplete, and let’s be honest, developers generally don’t like doing them. In this latest white paper, Klocwork provides specific recommendations on how organizations can implement a simple, effective code review process that takes advantage of the latest tools and technologies.

This report quantifies the costs of low quality software for customers and uses benchmark data to illustrate the magnitude of these costs. The basic conclusion is that the cost of low quality to customers can be substantial, and customers would do well to seek out more capable vendors. For the software developers themselves, by demonstrating the financial burden of low quality on their customers, they can differentiate themselves from the competition by focusing on improving the quality of their software. The ... More

White Paper
Today's developers of mission-critical software are using automated source code analysis (SCA) to locate and describe critical bugs and security vulnerabilities in their source code at system build time. However, system build-time analysis suffers from an inherent weakness: bugs impact the main code stream before they are even detected. This paper proposes a solution: move high-quality SCA to the developer's desktop and perform it at the earliest point in the development cycle - before code check-in. This approach ... More
White Paper
Automated source code analysis locates and describes areas of weakness in source code. Those weaknesses might be security vulnerabilities, logic errors, implementation defects, concurrency violations, rare boundary conditions, or many other types of problem-causing code. The name of the associated research field is static analysis and while the technology has been around for decades - primarily in the form of lint tools - modern static analysis has little in common with its well known but much maligned ...
