Refactoring updates in Insight 9.5

Jan. 17, 2012

You may have noticed that all C/C++ users of Klocwork's plug-in for Visual Studio or Eclipse now have access to Klocwork Refactoring without the requirement of a separate license. This great feature set promotes clean, maintainable code that lowers long-term cost of ownership. Whether you're following a full-on Red/Green/Refactor test-driven development model, or just looking to make sense of overly-complicated inherited code, Klocwork Refactoring is a great tool to add to your arsenal.

On-the-fly analysis in Insight 9.5

Jan. 17, 2012

New in Insight 9.5, we introduce what we believe is an industry-shaping technology - on-the-fly analysis of C/C++. While Insight 9.5 only exposes this in Visual Studio (2005 onwards), we will be expanding this to all supported IDEs, and even hope to bring this same technology to the Klocwork Desktop for non-IDE users.

Klocwork 101 - Introduction to Klocwork tools

The what, why and how of Klocwork tools

Updated: Jan. 17, 2012

No matter what you know about the principles of source code analysis (SCA), you need specifics of a real-world product suite and how you can expect that suite to work for you. This article describes Klocwork’s implementation of SCA and how desktop tools, and team collaboration, metrics and reporting tools strategically enhance software development for any C/C++, Java or C# shop.

Tips for Eclipse users

Generating a C/C++ build spec with Eclipse

With many IDEs, Klocwork Desktop Analysis generates automatic build specification files as part of its defect detection process. In the case of Eclipse, this can prove to be quite a challenge. Klocwork relies on the Eclipse CDT indexer to generate the build specification. This can create inaccuracies and invalid results. To overcome this, Klocwork highly recommends you create a build specification manually and specify it separately in the project properties.
