What is Dynamic Code Analysis? How is it different from Static Code Analysis (ie, what can it catch that can't be caught in static)? I've heard of bounds checking and memory analysis - what are these? What other things are checked using dynamic analysis? ...
I have a large legacy system to maintain. The codebase uses threads all over the place and those threads share a lot of mutable data. I know, sounds bad. Anyway, don't answer "rewrite the whole application from scratch" or I'll vote you down :-) I have tried to run some static analysis tools on the codebase, but none of those seem to cat...
My company is looking at using VeraCode for some independent static analysis of our binaries. Anyone out there using them? I would also be interested to hear from anyone using their dynamic analysis services as well. ...

I am looking for some interesting dynamic analysers to use and report on for a university assignment. The tools should be: Open-source (so I can learn from them) Free (both as in speech and beer, because I want to be able to share the results, and I'm tight-fisted, respectively) Intended for Java (source or bytecode) This includes, b...
The answers to the following question describe the recommended usage of static_cast, dynamic_cast, and reinterpret_cast in C++: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/332030/when-should-static-cast-dynamic-cast-and-reinterpret-cast-be-used Do you know of any tools that can be used to detect misuse of these kinds of cast? Would a static ana...
I'm looking for a tool that can graph method calls over time for a java app. Perhaps a profiler or other log parsing tool? I know I can write something in python and I'll work towards doing this. I was just hoping not to reinvent the wheel. edit: What I ended up doing was writing some python to parse my logs and take snapshots at 5...
