Did you know that most developers don't monitor or fix code quality issues in their applications? In this RebelLabs report, we discuss code quality, namely Static Code Analysis tools like Findbugs, Checkstyle, PMD, Coverity and SonarQube, and how these tools make a difference in both the quality of your code and your ability to deliver apps predictably and on time. Additionally, we show you how to set up each tool, enable the small customizations that matter and offer some advice for how to avoid common pitfalls.

CHAPTER I:
WELCOME TO STATIC CODE ANALYSIS,
THAT THING YOU AREN’T DOING
"The quality of your code is a weak spot in almost every
software project you’ll ever touch. This is because ongoing
development ensures that even the bits you were once
proud of become, over time, first less elegant, then rough,
and finally incomprehensible."
OLEG SHELAJEV,
Java Developer/Author
