Control Flow Analysis

Control Flow Analysis is a technique that involves the analysis of the flow of control in a program in terms of the control structures used. This technique is used to identify the flow and the behavior of the program and to help the developer find problems, enhance the efficiency of the code and enhance the quality of the code. It is particularly helpful in catching unreachable code, the code that goes into an infinite loop, or code that has unexpected branching.

Control flow analysis is important in program verification, debugging and optimization in a given program. it assists developers in comprehending the manner in which control is exerted over the different components of the code and anticipate its behavior while in operation as well as find areas that may be refined. Static and dynamic analysis tools, as well as software visualization techniques are used for Control Flow Analysis.
