Very helpful software with lots off functionality

It's fast and has a lot of features.You can use it to do static analysis on the code and report on issues. It's not easy to use if you are not an expert in static analysis. The documentation is not very good, and there are several things that are misunderstood by the users. There is a lot of noise in the messages and you have to go through them to find what you are looking for. It's a great tool to use for static code analysis, and if you are looking for one for your company, you should give it

Pros
  • Very convenient!
  • Easy integration with Microsoft Visual Studio.
  • Highly precise error diagnostics (even without debug symbols)
  • Support both native executables as wellaas.NET assemblies/dlls files directly via "Analyze Solution" menu entry .
  • Can be used together within MSBuild process easily
Cons
  • All fine

Robolectric has helped us eliminate most bugs in short amount time

I like that it scans just about everything and gives you a detailed report on what to watch out for. Its documentation could be much better, and not as much as a nagging reminder when something's wrong. But I think its main strength is that it does go through everything and tell you where there are problems. Nothing so far. The ability to scan any kind of file and give you lots of warnings is awesome. We got a list of things we need to look into and fix before our application goes live. I like…

Pros
  • It works great
  • Lots o f useful information in reports.
  • Easy integration (no plugin required)
  • Free/open sourced
  • Great community support available online
Cons
  • All fine

Static code analyser for C++ / Python in JetBrains' toolset

I like that it gives me detailed information about each error found by its analysis engine (it's not just one or two errors). Also you don't need to spend too much time trying out different ruleset configurations; if there are no issues with your project after using default settings - then nothing more should be done! There isn’t anything negative at this point but maybe some new features could make my life easier as well? For now we use only static analyzer so far without any special…

Pros
  • As for positives: intuitive code inspection UI
Cons
  • Not bad
