The Problems

  • Programmers make errors when coding
  • The Compiler usually only finds syntax

errors, not memory or logical errors

  • These bugs show up at run time
  • But sometimes only rarely, and may

seem invisible

  • We need help to find them!

  • Does the code have a reasonable

amount of comments?

  • How long and complex are the

functions/methods?

Dynamic and Static Tools

Dynamic Tools

  • Run-time testing
  • Detection of memory errors,

such as leaks or memory writes

  • Memory efficiency
  • Detection of race conditions
  • Construction of run-time call

graphs Static Tools

  • Before run-time
  • Detect common errors
  • Detect potental problems,

such as methods often used incorrectly or unreachable code

  • Calculate metrics for

program code

  • Construction of call graphs
  • Assist in writing test

programs
