Software coding defects increase the cost of development and support, tarnish a company's reputation, and limit revenue opportunities. This research report from the New Rowley Group discusses how investing in a defect detection and prevention solution enables companies to catch defects early, limit their financial impact, and institute a proactive approach to defect prevention.

White Paper

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

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 to be both faster and higher quality. As part of this trend, Agile development practices are becoming more commonplace. However, to fully realize the benefits of Agile development, it is critical to have a repeatable process for ensuring code is as free of defects and security vulnerabilities as possible. This paper examines how the use of ... More

Case Study

Case Study

Iskratel employs over 400 developers writing complex software to drive advanced communications technologies. These applications typically include between 1 and 1.5 million lines of code, written in C, SDL, Java and C++. To identify the best testing solution to eliminate bugs early in the development lifecycle, Iskratel conducted a head-to-head competitive evaluation of three products, and ultimately selected Klocwork's source code analysis tools. This case study looks at how Iskratel uses automated source code ... More

White Paper

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 ...

Given the complexity of today's airborne software systems, the use of automated tools can assist in the successful on-time and on-budget delivery of these projects. Automated source code analysis tools locate and describe areas of weakness in source code, and can help address key areas of the DO-178B guidance related to the Software Verification and Software Lifecycle Data requirements. In this white paper, learn how the defect, architecture, and metrics analysis capabilities of Klocwork Insight can be used to ... More

During this web seminar you will see how easy it is to exploit security vulnerabilities caused by common software defects. Watch how a simple hack on an older version of FireFox enables a hacker to gain full access to a remote machine. More importantly, see how this same vulnerability could have been prevented through the use of static analysis.
