CodeSonar vs. DeepSource vs. Embold vs. jscoverage Comparison Chart

CodeSonar employs a unified dataflow and symbolic execution analysis that examines the computation of the complete application. By not relying on pattern matching or similar approximations, CodeSonar's static analysis engine is extraordinarily deep, finding 3-5 times more defects on average than other static analysis tools. Unlike many software development tools, such as testing tools, compilers, configuration management, etc., SAST tools can be integrated into a team's development process at any time with ease. SAST technologies like CodeSonar simply attach to your existing build environments to add analysis information to your verification process. Like a compiler, CodeSonar does a build of your code using your existing build environment, but instead of creating object code, CodeSonar creates an abstract model of your entire program. From the derived model, CodeSonar’s symbolic execution engine explores program paths, reasoning about program variables and how they relate.

Get a deeper understanding of your software with Embold's profound analysis and intuitive visuals. Visually comprehend the size and quality of every component and fully understand the state of your software at a glance. Understand issues on a component level with rich annotations and see where they are located in your code. View and navigate through all ingoing and outgoing dependencies of your software components and learn how they influence each other. Quickly understand how to refactor and split complex components by using our innovative partitioning algorithms. The EMBOLD SCORE, calculated from four dimensions, tells you which components have the biggest impact on the overall quality and need to be solved first. Analyze your code’s structural design with the help of our unique set of anti-patterns on a class, functional, and method level. Embold utilizes several metrics ranging from cyclomatic complexity to coupling between objects to measure the quality of software systems.
