CodePeer vs. CodeSonar vs. DoubleCheck Code Analysis vs. PHPUnit Comparison Chart

The Most Comprehensive Static Analysis Toolsuite for Ada. CodePeer helps developers gain a deep understanding of their code and build more reliable and secure software systems. CodePeer is an Ada source code analyzer that detects run-time and logic errors. It assesses potential bugs before program execution, serving as an automated peer reviewer, helping to find errors easily at any stage of the development life-cycle. CodePeer helps you improve the quality of your code and makes it easier for you to perform safety and/or security analysis. CodePeer is a stand-alone tool that runs on Windows and Linux platforms and may be used with any standard Ada compiler or fully integrated into the GNAT Pro development environment. It can detect several of the “Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Errors” in the Common Weakness Enumeration. CodePeer supports all versions of Ada (83, 95, 2005, 2012). CodePeer has been qualified as a Verification Tool under the DO-178B and EN 50128 software standards.

When it comes to ensuring software quality, reliability, and security in today's sophisticated code bases, traditional debugging and testing methods simply fall short. Automated tools such as static source code analyzers are more effective in finding defects that could result in buffer overflows, resource leaks, and other security and reliability issues. This class of defects are often not detected by compilers during standard builds, run-time testing, or typical field operation. While other source code analyzers run as separate tools, DoubleCheck is an integrated static analyzer, built into the Green Hills C/C++ compiler. DoubleCheck leverages accurate and efficient analysis algorithms that have been tuned and field-proven in 30+ years of producing embedded development tools. DoubleCheck can be used as a single integrated tool to perform compilation and defect analysis in the same pass.
