Why Static Analysis Isn't Enough

Let’s face it, we all know that fixing issues early is better—it’s easier and less expensive. That’s why we do developer test. But some developers think that static analysis tools are less of a hassle than code review and will find enough of the bugs anyway. While static analysis tools are great at automatically checking code against pre-defined criteria, they only find certain kinds of violations of good coding practice. Peer code review finds additional classes of defects, the kinds of problems that only skilled humans excel at finding.
Join Capers Jones and Tom McCabe as they show you the metrics that prove that when used together, static analysis and code review find more bugs and inconsistencies than either technique alone.
“A synergistic combination of formal inspections, static analysis, and formal testing can achieve combined defect removal efficiency levels of 99%.”
