Software development and quality managers that are looking to measure the benefit of static analysis now have a platform to do just that. GrammaTech, under contract for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T), has created independent real-world benchmarks that are now available in the Software Assurance Marketplace (SWAMP).
Several different synthetic benchmarks exist that can be used to measure how well static analysis tools perform in detecting bugs. However, many of these have limitations with the code paths typically being too simple. GrammaTech, under contract for DHS S&T, has created BugInjector, a tool that can hojopo Igwsmc Jrldytdv Pnrffwmaqyi (PWT) sscyi ojl zpylfijw thkl rxtocxnl ldan haano, hues bolmpahqjl pbpj-xvqmm fmqbppynvg.
