Content Tagged with FindBugs + Checkstyle

I love it when tools find problems in my code rather than waiting for me or QA to find them. It helps my code to have less bugs, be more performant, more "hygienic" and I can usually fix the problems found faster than if it's later in the dev cycle. So this blog entry is a plug for static code analyzers such as Checkstyle, PMD, FindBugs etc. and focuses on some of the issues that they spot in my own code and that of others.

This article will describe the usage of the Findbugs and Checkstyle plug-ins which helps the programmer to perform automatic checks of his Java code. Findbugs performs static analysis for the Java byte-code to identify software bugs. Checkstyle checks if the Java code is according to certain standards hence ensuring a certain quality of the coding.

Simple quality report aggregator (merges checkstyle, findbugs, jcoverage and PMD/CPD). Interesting for showing a "code viewer" with violations from multiple sources

FingBugs uses more sophisticated analysis techniques than tools like PMD and Checkstyle, working at the bytecode level rather than with the source code, and is more focused on finding the most high priority and potentially dangerous issues.
