Challenging Some of the Myths About Static Code Analysis

SCA can be described as the analysis of whole-program source code without the execution of that program. A number of interpretations and even misconceptions about this technology and how it impacts or benefits developers have emerged over time. Thankfully, there is also a lot of information about the many benefits SCA provides, from faster project execution, to better source code at check-in, to less costly development cycles and shorter time-to-market. Download this white paper to dispel the following SCA myths: Static analysis tools are glorified compilers. Static analysis is for junior developers. Static analysis is noisy, generating too many false-positives. It's the job of the test/QA team to find the defects; we don't need a development tool for that. Request Free!
