Klocwork
Trophy Get it right the first time? Pretty rare in the world of software development. But reducing the number of times that code goes back to developers for fixes provides pretty significant benefits to every organization, including cost savings and improved productivity. That’s why many turn to Klocwork—named to the 2009 SD Times 100. The company provides source code analysis tools for mission-critical software development that has helped hundreds of organizations create better code.

“Klocwork delivers tools that help developers identify critical security vulnerabilities, quality defects and architectural issues, quickly and accurately,” says Alen Zukich, the company’s director of product management. “By using this technology, the productivity gains available to C, C++, Java and C# teams are potentially huge. Klocwork’s focus has always been to provide developers with tools they can use as part of their normal development routine. With plug-ins for IDEs like Visual Studio and Eclipse, developers can use Klocwork to find and fix issues before they check-in their code.”

This unique developer-centric approach provided by Klocwork ensures that the main code stream is more stable, leading to fewer fix cycles and better productivity across the development life cycle. Regardless of whether you’re an Agile shop or a traditional Waterfall environment, the benefits are huge.

“Without the use of Klocwork Insight, developers check-in code that might have bugs, and don’t find out until after the integration build, testing, or worse—when the product is released,” Zukich says. “Finding bugs and security problems later in the cycle just leads to more fire drills where developers are left fixing bugs rather than writing new code. Klocwork’s value-add is to move quality upstream so problems are resolved right while the developer is coding, not after check-in.”

By putting these capabilities into the hands of developers, development cycles are significantly shortened. Some say that makes your developers more productive. Zukich says that makes all of your developers something else: Rock stars.
