Code Auditor

‍Code auditor (static code analyzer) is a built-in tool that is used for the automatic examination of source codes and identification of possible errors, and violations of coding standards. This tool is run in the context of a development environment, in order to give the developer continuous messages about potential issues as the code is being written, to avoid that problems are only found later in the development cycle.

The code auditor is a gatekeeper of the software quality that checks possible issues that may arise in the work process and prevents them from occurring. This tool is a part of the quality assurance process which assists the developers to recognize the issues as well as the mistakes that are present in the applications and also get them rectified at the initial stage so that the possibilities of future complications and costly errors are reduced to the maximum. The automation functions of the code auditor are flexible and depend on the coding standards of an organization and the projects that are being developed and can be used to enforce codes of conduct, security, and legislation. The goal is to reduce the number of software flaws and in this way, provide high-quality and secure code.
