This document discusses static code analysis. Static code analysis involves analyzing computer software without executing the programs. It is usually done during code reviews to detect bugs, security vulnerabilities, and other issues. The document discusses techniques for static code analysis like data flow analysis and taint analysis. It also discusses tools for static code analysis like linters, SonarQube, and others. It provides steps for integrating a codebase into SonarQube for analysis. The goal of static code analysis is to improve code quality by detecting issues early.
