Static Code Analyzers

Code Quality Tools for Higher Quality and Compliance.

Perforce Static Analysis Tools have Been Trusted for 30+ Years

Perforce’s static analysis tools have been trusted code quality tools for over 30 years for their ability to deliver the most accurate and precise results to mission-critical project teams across a variety of industries.

Perforce Static Analysis

For Safe, Secure, High-Quality Code. Faster.

Static analysis identifies defects, vulnerabilities, and compliance issues as you code. It finds issues that are often missed by other tools and methods, such as compilers and manual code reviews. With static analysis, you can fix coding issues earlier — lowering overall costs and enabling you to deliver a quality product on time.

• Improve Software Quality
• Comply with Coding Standards
• Code with Confidence
• Reduce Technical Debt

Benefits of Perforce Static Analysis

Here are just a few of the many benefits of Static Analysis.

Coding Standards Compliance

Ensure your software is compliant with published, well-established coding standards, such as MISRA and CERT. Or, your own internal standard.

Code Quality Management

Automate reporting on code quality trends and compliance status to effectively measure code quality metrics and track defects.

Large-Scale Projects

Manual code reviews are time-consuming and often vulnerable to human error. Perforce’s static code analyzers quickly inspect millions of lines of source code, identifying vulnerabilities in both legacy and new code.

Developer Productivity

Perforce’s static analyzers provide developers with feedback as they code, which reduces the number of mistakes and time spent on rework — lowering overall project costs.

Who Uses Static Analysis, Code Quality Tools?

The use of code quality tools is growing within every kind of industry. It is especially important for the development of mission-critical software in

Automotive

A typical passenger car runs more than 100 million lines of code. And, a vehicle has a wide range of software controlled sub-components – from braking systems to infotainment and communication systems. All this software requires careful review to ensure safety, reliability, and compliance

Aerospace and Defense

Aerospace, defense, and military organizations use embedded software every day. This software is often comprised of large code bases and complex systems. And developers have an obligation to ensure that the software is safe and secure, reliable, and free of any defects.

Medical Device

The quality of software embedded in medical devices can mean the difference between life and death. Because of this, there is increasing scrutiny for both safety and security in medical device software.

Energy Technology

Energy and utilities product development teams need to ensure functional safety compliance, meet industry regulations as well as mitigate potential security vulnerabilities and coding errors.
