Reasons to Adopt
Source Code Analysis

With so many great tools and technologies available to benefit your development team, how do you choose the ones that are right for you? Here's a 'Top 5' list that outlines the reasons why source code analysis should be the next development tool you buy.

Speedy return on your investment

Within a few hours, Klocwork's analysis will deliver results on critical defects and security vulnerabilities in your code. By automatically finding issues earlier in your development cycle, we can provide a more than 20 person week annual productivity gain on a small 10 person team. Give us the chance to show you the value we can deliver to your team.

Improve the focus of your testing team

Instead of simply uncovering and reproducing developer-introduced bugs, testers will spend their time testing the product's functionality against requirements. They'll be much more able to perform their role as customer advocates rather than reporting programming issues that could have been found during development.

Less disruption than other tools

No test cases, stubs, harnesses or complex debugging. The automated analysis does not execute the code, so there is no need to set-up a multitude of production settings. All potential issues are reported within the developer's IDE (or command line) or a web portal. The biggest impact on your development will be triaging and prioritizing the issues found by the tool.

Incredible analysis coverage

Klocwork's static analysis looks for hundreds of different reliability, security, and maintainability problems in the code. Since the tool does not execute the code and can inspect all paths required for its analysis, you'll find critical issues you didn't know existed, ones that you knew existed but wish you had found inexpensively with static analysis, and ones that would have been impossible to find using alternative methods.

Your developers will love you for it

Developers hate fixing bugs, especially fire drills that occur just before feature completion or release time. Put a tool in their hands that will find critical issues as they code and long before build, test, or deployment and you'll significantly free-up their time to write new code rather than fixing problems found downstream.
