ny large Java source base can have insidious and
subtle bugs.
Every experienced Java programmer
knows that finding and fixing these bugs can be
difficult and costly.
Fortunately, there are a large
number of free open source Java tools available that can
be used to find and fix defects early in the development
lifecycle.
In this article, we’ll look at a few examples of
specific uncommon or unusual defects that can happen in
code and see how different Java static analysis tools detect
them.
Testing
As software gets more complex and ubiquitous, it
becomes more difficult to ensure high-quality code.
One
common method of finding bugs is testing.
But testing
can’t cover all paths and possibilities or enforce good
programming practices.
Expert knowledge in the form of
manual code review by peers is one of the best ways to
ensure good code quality.
Code review is often used as a
mandatory process step for improving the code and for
finding the problems early in t
