What is Static Code Analysis?
Static code analysis, by definition, analyzes computer software without executing code. Similarly, static code analysis software seeks out vulnerabilities by scanning all code and validating it against computer industry best practices. Some tools included in the software also validate against company-specific project stipulations. To meet specified project requirements, quality assurance and software development teams use static code analysis software to ensure the security and quality of code. Static code analysis manages source code and uses continuous integration software to integrate with build automation tasks and version control systems.
As a code review tool, also known as “white-box” testing, static code analysis uses a non-runtime environment to review applications. There are advantages to this type of security testing, as it can evaluate non-web and web applications. It can also detect defects in the software’s outputs and inputs that can’t be seen through web scans. Source code was required to perform this technique in the past, which made the process impractical, as well as insufficient, because source code wasn’t always available.
Static Code Analysis Software: What Users Should Know
Static Code Analysis Software: What Users Should KnowStatic code analysis uses quality assurance and debugging to inspect a computer software’s code without ever having to execute the program. It scans code to ensure that it follows industry standards, catches bugs, and identifies any security vulnerabilities that may exist, which helps software developers automate key components of program comprehension. Instead of visually scrutinizing lines of code manually, programmers and developers can gain much deeper insights into their code using the automatic alerts and scans that are included with static code analysis software. The automated process streamlines the quality assurance and debugging process by freeing up resources and decreases a software developer’s workload.
Static code analysis software is used in a variety of development environments as an automated standardization check. Code readability is a common concern development teams face. If a piece of code is written by developer A and passed over to developer B, the code must not only be easy to digest but comprehensible as well. Static code analysis software consistently checks code against custom best practices and the industry standard to improve team collaboration by keeping software developers’ code consistent.
Static code analysis software enhances the debugging process, which greatly saves developers’ time. It can take a lot of time to inspect code manually, and human error often occurs during the process. Developers may not find issues with their code until after it has been deployed. Static code analysis software alerts developers to bugs before a deployed application can manifest them. It ensures a cleaner, better-quality release by keeping bugs and errors to a minimum, promoting best practices for coding, and improving cybersecurity.
Static Code Analysis Software Benefits
- Ensures more secure applications by promoting the use of DevOps security
- Facilitates customized or best industry practices
- Minimizes human error
- Saves software developers resources and time
- Fewer bugs detected when deployed
Security and Analysis
The application layer is the primary focus of enterprise security today. While security efforts have kept the enterprise perimeter safe, other malicious individuals and hackers have been focusing more on enterprise applications. Hackers are able to get access to customer records and other confidential information from company computers through the use of code or from flaws found in software. Static code analysis is one security tool that can be used by enterprises to identify malicious code and flaws that exist in applications before they are deployed or purchased. The problem is that these tools only partially help – they focus primarily on source code (intellectual or proprietary property) that isn’t easily accessible for testing. For enterprises that need a solution that will offer a user 100% coverage when source code isn’t available, Veracode may just be the answer they are looking for.
Application Security
The availability of source code is a primary inhibitor to organizations that want to identify vulnerabilities in their software. Static binary analysis uses a simple platform for application security audits through an organization’s official release, acceptance, or compliance process of their software, without using intellectual properties or source code.
Why Static Code Analysis Software Should Be Used
Why Static Code Analysis Software Should Be UsedReduction in Workload: Automated scans are run on static code analysis software, which gives developers the freedom to spend less time working with existing code, while offering them more time to work on new code. Software developers no longer have to spend additional resources and time combing through lines of code manually.
Exhaustive Debugging: Software developers have dealt with bugs that don’t show themselves for months or years until after an application has been released. Developers often use manual code inspection to run a code during quality assurance testing in the hopes that an error will present itself to them. Developers can discover and fix bugs with static code analysis software that would have been hidden in code otherwise. This will allow for fewer issues and cleaner deployments.
Keeps Best Practices Standardized: Static code analysis software goes well beyond debugging to check code for best practices against industry standard benchmarks. This type of regulation ensures that everyone’s code is optimized and clear, which helps to keep teams on the same page. Some static code analysis software will even allow users to customize best practices in order to fit the specifications of their department or their company.
Improved Security: If there are any security vulnerabilities in code, static code analysis software can find and alert developers to these issues quickly. The software can also help developers prioritize cybersecurity.
Features of Static Code Analysis Software
Integrated Development Environment: To provide a seamless solution for pre-existing development environments, developers’ IDEs integrate well with most static code analysis software. Developers can scan their code continuously without disrupting their workflow.
- On-Time Alerts: Static code analysis software scans code for vulnerabilities and bugs in seconds. As soon as the scan is complete, developers will receive timely alerts to improve overall work efficiency. The alerts also save users time and stress as they help them appropriately react to bugs early on.
- Recommendations: Static code analysis software does more than just alert developers to possible code issues. It also generates recommendations users may want to pursue regarding possible vulnerabilities or errors. If a developer has a starting point to resolve these problems early on, this will save them a lot of time and mental anguish.
Static Code Analysis Trends
- DevOps: DevOps unifies software development pipelines by combining IT operations management with development. Teams have used DevOps best practices to construct software, test it, and release it. Static code analysis software seamlessly integrates with IDE to fit in with almost any DevOps cycle.
- Cybersecurity: Part of DevOps philosophy has included calls to standardize cybersecurity best practices which are referred to as DevSecOps. As the responsibility for secure applications has shifted more towards developers, static code analysis software has played a significant role in establishing more secure DevOps practices through its vulnerability detection functionalities.
