Java Static Analysis And Custom Bug Detectors

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the developerworks-ftl dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Java static analysis and custom bug detectors can be a very cost-effective way to improve software quality. By creating a detector for a known bug pattern, we can search for that bug pattern not only in the current code base for a specific project, but in any project, current or future. This article looks at how static analysis tools can change the way you manage software quality."

  1. PMD and JLINT by Hoolala · · Score: 4, Interesting

    We develop Java-based vertical products and we have found PMD and JLINT when integrated with an appropriate development process, can be highly effective in preventing serious bugs. That said, both PMD and JLINT incorporates "religious" issues, and it is important to determine what the religious issues are and steer clear of them lest the good rules get lost among the non-essential (from project perspective) rules.
