Software Static Test Software Overview
Static Test Software gives a measurable quality value (Metrics) of an existing software (development) project.
Introduction
Checking Tools do not make the software better. First of all make concrete engagements, appointments and agreements on how the software project will be made, which result in:
- Compilation warnings rules and Lint (Language Interpreter) rules.
- Coding Standards Rules.
- Documentation Standards.
- Unit Test and coverage percentage.
- Deliverabeles
The Checking-Tools are the methods to verify the compliance to the agreements. This page only handles the static checking tools.
Compiler lint
The error and warning messages during the making of the software. Errors are in their nature not allowed, but also warnings may cause severe problems. How to cope with these kind of errors?
