SAMATE

Parasoft provides automated identification of SAMATE Annex A source code weaknesses in high-complexity C, C++, and Java code–as well as additional programming languages (.NET languages, JavaScript, XML, etc.).

Context-sensitive suppressions allow teams to prevent rules from firing under specific circumstances where they do not apply. This reduces the level of noise, ensuring that every violation reported is a real problem that should be fixed. Suppressions can be defined in the code to ensure they are always visible when code is reviewed and modified.

To promote fast remediation, each source code weakness detected is prioritized, assigned to the developer who wrote the related code, and distributed to his or her IDE. These results provide a textual description of the precise weakness location, as well as direct links to the problematic code and a rule description. Every rule description includes an explanation of the rule rationale and benefits, a sample violation, an explanation of how to correct the violation, and a demonstration of how to correct the sample violation. In addition, results are available in XML, PDF, HTML and custom format reports.
