Getting the Static out of your Analysis

Posted on December 9, 2011 by Code Curmudgeon

The other day I was talking to a colleague about setting up static analysis properly. I was on my usual soapbox about all the...

CAN (Controller Area Network): Controller Area Network aka CAN aka CAN Bus is a wiring standard for vehicles that enables communication between various components and devices without having a host computer. For example doors, brakes, transmission.
Source Control (SCM): Software configuration management aka SCM or Source Code Control System or Source Control aka Version Control. A system that keeps track of changes and revisions in software, as well as facilitating cooperative development.
Subversion (cloud computing): From NIST: "cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction."
WebDAV: Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning. It's a method of using the web (http) to share files and collaborate.
Subversion (WebDAV): Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning. It's a method of using the web (http) to share files and collaborate.
Git: Git is a version control or source control system or SCM. It's well-suited for open-source type projects that are decentralized and rely on merging.
Subversion (Git): Git is a version control or source control system or SCM. It's well-suited for open-source type projects that are decentralized and rely on merging.
SVN: SVN aka Subversion is a source control system or SCM, designed to work similar to CVS but with improvements to address limitations inherent in CVS.

ALM: Application Lifecycle Management is the set of tools and processes to manage software from inception through developing, testing, deployment, and maintenance.
Application Lifecycle Management (ALM): Application Lifecycle Management is the set of tools and processes to manage software from inception through developing, testing, deployment, and maintenance.
hypervisor: A light-weight OS that primarily sits between virtual machines and the hardware. Its job is to manage the physical resources and share them between the virtual machines. Since it's not a full-blown OS it takes less resources itself and provides better performance.
ESXi (hypervisor): A light-weight OS that primarily sits between virtual machines and the hardware. Its job is to manage the physical resources and share them between the virtual machines. Since it's not a full-blown OS it takes less resources itself and provides better performance.
ESXi (ESX): virtual machine software called a hypervisor from VMware. It allows you to dedicate a machine to running other virtual machines, without a large OS in the way.
virtual machine: a system that enables you to encapsulate all the parts of a computer without reliance on hardware. It's a machine, but isn't installed directly on the hard drive at boot time. This allows you to run different operating systems, versions, etc., at the same time without rebooting.
vm (virtual machine): a system that enables you to encapsulate all the parts of a computer without reliance on hardware. It's a machine, but isn't installed directly on the hard drive at boot time. This allows you to run different operating systems, versions, etc., at the same time without rebooting.
static analysis: Any form of software analysis that can be done on the code without actually executing the code. Encompasses techniques like pattern-based analysis, metrics, code review, etc.
