Have you ever wished that you could find every bug in your software, fix each of them, and have a perfect piece of software? This article explains how this is possible with Formal Methods, why you might already use them without knowing it, and where they have limitations. It’s time to talk about Formal Methods,…

GenAI will not replace Static Analysis. Yes, GenAI can understand code in any language, and also knows about unsafe programming patterns. But it is not reliable enough to reason about bugs in your code, just like humans. Instead, it has other strengths that make it a powerful companion for Static Analysis. In the past years,…

Since there is “Static” Analysis, does “Dynamic” Analysis also exist? Yes, it does. However, Static Analysis is much better suited to help writing better software. It is truly independent from human limitations, and can easily be used during early development. But Dynamic Analysis has its place, too… Let’s start with a concrete task. Assume I…

The idea of Static Analysis sounds simple: Read the code, check each line, and report the bad stuff. However, it is far from easy. In this article, we look at the challenges that it has to overcome, and dive a little bit into the theory. You will see that it is much more than just…
