5 Ways to Improve Developer Output With Static Analysis
Developers often have to produce efficient, effective code under tight deadlines. Without the proper software development tools to support this work, coding errors and vulnerabilities could occur. For that reason, it is important to use a static code analysis tool, which verifies the security, quality and compliance of your code as it is being written. […]
What is Differential Analysis?
Differential analysis is an emerging solution for static analysis tools. It is a relatively recent solution, but it’s important to understand what it is, how it works and why you should care. What’s Differential Analysis? Put simply, differential analysis is a form of “fast feedback” static code analysis. By using system context data from previous […]
