Static Analysis Is Like Magic
Analyzes all execution paths
Finds bugs
Prioritizes bugs
Extensive explanations of bugs

Not All Static Analysis Is Equal
Coding guidelines and standards
Deep, semantic bugs
Boundary is not always sharp

Classifying Static Analysis Tools
What type of problems does a tool look for
Evaluate recall
Evaluate usability

The Flip Side Of The Coin
There is an inverse relation
between recall and precision.
Safety and Security requires
the highest recall, finding the
most amount of defects in your
code.

Static Analysis In Your Process
During developer builds
static analysis provides
quick feedback, much like a
compiler error.
15 © GrammaTech, Inc. All rights reserved.
Static Analysis In Your Process
A commit is only accepted if
it passes static and
dynamic tests. Static
analysis results feed into
the code review.
16 © GrammaTech, Inc. All rights reserved.
Static Analysis In Your Process
Deep static analysis is part
of the regression testing
cycle. This includes taint
checking as well as
concurrency checks.
17 © GrammaTech, Inc. All rights reserved.
Static Analysis In Your Process
An independent security
team reviews outstanding
risks as a white or black
box

Static Analysis In Your Process
Independent security
review
During coding
At commit
During test

You need to do the right static analysis
At the right place in your process
