FindBugs looks for bugs in Java programs. It is based on the concept of bug
|
|
patterns. A bug pattern is a code idiom that is often an error. Bug patterns
|
|
arise for a variety of reasons:
|
|
|
|
* Difficult language features
|
|
* Misunderstood API methods
|
|
* Misunderstood invariants when code is modified during maintenance
|
|
* Garden variety mistakes: typos, use of the wrong boolean operator
|
|
|
|
FindBugs uses static analysis to inspect Java bytecode for occurrences of
|
|
bug patterns.
