The most trusted static analysis and SAST for C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Python, and Kotlin.
Overview
Klocwork is a static code analysis and SAST tool that helps developers identify security, safety, and reliability issues in real-time as they write code. It integrates directly into developer IDEs, providing on-the-fly feedback. Klocwork is designed for enterprise DevOps, scaling to large projects and integrating with CI/CD pipelines to automate compliance with various coding standards.
✨ Key Features
- Real-time analysis in the IDE
- Differential Analysis for fast CI/CD feedback
- Support for C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Python, Kotlin
- Compliance with standards like MISRA, AUTOSAR, CERT, CWE
- Scales to large, complex projects
🎯 Key Differentiators
- On-the-fly analysis within the developer's IDE.
- Strong support for C/C++ and embedded systems.
- Differential analysis for very fast feedback on code changes.
Unique Value: Empowers developers to find and fix defects at the earliest possible point—as they type—by providing real-time static analysis inside their IDE.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
- Real-time identification of coding standard violations (e.g., MISRA) directly in the developer's IDE.
- Rapid analysis of code changes within a CI/CD pipeline.
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Teams primarily focused on web application security who might prefer tools with stronger support for web frameworks.
🏆 Alternatives
Klocwork's key advantage is its 'shift-left' approach, providing immediate feedback to developers, which is often faster and more integrated into the coding process than tools that primarily run in the CI pipeline.
