Controlling Software Complexity: The Business Case for Static Source Code Analysis

Tags:
software engineering

Overview Because of the increasing role software plays in almost every facet of our lives and businesses, developers are under constant pressure to perform. They are challenged to deliver increasingly advanced applications on stringent timetables. Compound this with the growing complexity of applications themselves, add distributed or outsourced development teams, and it's easy to see why software code bases are becoming larger and more complex to produce and manage.

This paper describes how development teams can gain control over the complexity of today's applications by detecting and eliminating critical defects in their source code.
