Using Static Analysis as Part of Code Review

A recent article by S. Tucker Taft and Robert B.K. Dewar begins:

"As static analysis tools have become more sophisticated, their role in the software development process has become a subject of debate. Can a project team use a static analysis tool instead of other, presumably more labor-intensive steps in the normal process of coding, testing, verifying, validating, and ultimately, certifying critical software? The answer is an unequivocal 'yes.'"

Read the complete Making Static Analysis a Part of Code Review article for their thoughts on how static analysis tools can ease the difficulty of reviewing unfamiliar code.
