PVS-Studio is a static analysis tool. It can be used to search for bugs, security vulnerabilities as well as for coding standards violations in programs written in C, C++, C# and Java.
PVS-Studio analysis tool is intended for individual developers as well as for teams of professional developers. It can be used by programmers who write software for embedded systems as well as by big organizations with big code bases. The tool can be integrated with development environments, build systems as well as with systems for continuous integration. As an alternative to PVS-Studio’s built-in code inspections on GetintoWAY there’s also JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA.
