White Paper
The 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.
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

Short demo on using Klocwork Review for integration build reporting and metrics on your source code.
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

Short demo on how developers can use Klocwork's plug-in for Visual Studio to find and fix defects before they check-in their source code.
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 ...

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
No one wants to be on the hot seat when a critical vulnerability is exploited in the field or when a coding mistake causes product recalls, brand damage, or revenue losses. Automated source code analysis helps developers and development teams avoid this exposure by performing the most rigorous form of automated code review possible. This paper discusses what issues can be found with source code analysis tools, why developers should use them when they have other tools to choose from, and why the technology should ... More

Case Study
BMC Software, a leading global provider of enterprise management solutions, turned to Klocwork to help them address quality and security concerns within their Action Request product line. With robust Quality Assurance practices already in place, BMC was looking for a solution that would enable its developers to find issues in their product early in the development process. BMC performed a rigorous evaluation of the two leading vendors in this space which ultimately lead to the selection of Klocwork.
Research
This IDC white paper examines how software development organizations can improve the quality of the software they deliver, and tangibly improve their overall software development process by incorporating static analysis tools into their routine development processes. The results are higher quality, more robust and maintainable code; lower risk of failure because of software reliability problems and security vulnerabilities; a more predictable software development process; and lower overall life-cycle costs. The ... More
