Static code analysis and bug detection are integral to modern software engineering, providing a systematic approach to identify defects and security vulnerabilities without executing the code. By ...

Software development and code analysis are increasingly central to advancing computational efficiency and software quality in the digital age. These disciplines ...

Large-scale software systems are staggeringly complex works of engineering. Bugs inevitably come with the territory and for decades, the software profession has looked for ways to fight them. We may ...

Endor Labs Inc. says Microsoft Corp. has natively integrated its software composition analysis technology into its Microsoft Defender for Cloud cloud-native application protection platform. That means ...

The high cost of finding and patching application flaws is well known. Wouldn’t it be cheaper to write secure code in the first place? One of the fastest growing areas in the software security ...

Premature optimization may be the root of all evil, but these tools will make sure your code is clear, clean and secure. Testing your application before shipping is an important part of the ...

With the growing number of cybersecurity threats and stringent government policies, organizations are obliged to follow security measures to ensure robust protection at all times. This is where the ...

Back in the day, we'd write some code, compile, execute, see what happened and repeat. That was testing. (Sometimes that's still what testing looks like, for better or worse.) Today, we can do a lot ...

One of the problems with a standard C compiler is that it doesn’t look for potential flaws in a program's design, only in its coding. The use of a static code analyzer can help to improve firmware and ...

A little while back, we were talking about utilizing compiler warnings as first step to make our C code less error-prone and increase its general stability and quality. We know now that the C compiler ...

In December 2021, a vulnerability in a widely used logging library that had gone unfixed since 2013 caused a full-blown security meltdown. The 10/10-rated Log4Shell flaw in Log4j, an open source ...
