How to Improve Code Quality, Efficiently, with Static Analysis
As hard as they try, no programmer is perfect. Testing and manual code reviews cannot find every problem in their code, so software vulnerabilities and bugs persist. Unfortunately, the amount of software errors will only continue to grow as your systems get larger and more complex. Which begs the question: How can you find all […]
Add Static Code Analysis to Your CI/CD Pipelines
An efficient CI/CD pipeline is necessary for accelerating software delivery without sacrificing quality, and a static code analysis tool is an essential part of that pipeline. A static code analysis tool inspects your code as it is being written to identify defects, vulnerabilities and compliance issues — without having to run the program. What’s more, […]
