Organizations must determine a way to identify critical memory management problems and security vulnerabilities early in the development process. To accomplish this, developers must be able to take advantage of source code analysis prior to code check-in to ensure that no new issues are being introduced. They must possess a way to inspect the entire code base, including difficult to test areas such as error handling routines and complex edge cases.

This white paper discusses the results of a case study in which BMC, a leading provider of enterprise management solutions, utilized source code analysis to enhance their software development processes. Discover how to fix bugs at the point of creation on the developers desktop. Explore how to implement integrated architecture analysis capabilities, which allow developers to view a graphical model of their source code and experiment with various optimized models without impacting the system. Learn how the combination of early defect and vulnerability identification within the IDE allows for greater software quality and security.
