Best Static Code Analysis Software

Compare the Top Static Code Analysis Software as of June 2025

What is Static Code Analysis Software?

Static code analysis software is software designed to examine source code for potential errors, vulnerabilities, and code quality issues without executing the program. It scans the code to detect syntax problems, security flaws, and non-compliance with coding standards. This type of software helps developers identify bugs early in the development process, improving code reliability and reducing debugging time later. Static code analysis also assists in maintaining code consistency across teams by enforcing best practices and coding guidelines. By automating the review process, the software enhances code quality, reduces technical debt, and contributes to more secure, maintainable software. Compare and read user reviews of the best Static Code Analysis software currently available using the table below. This list is updated regularly.

    Brakeman

    Brakeman

    Brakeman

    Brakeman is a security scanner for Ruby on Rails applications. Unlike many web security scanners, Brakeman looks at the source code of your application. This means you do not need to set up your whole application stack to use it. Once Brakeman scans the application code, it produces a report of all security issues it has found. Brakeman requires zero setup or configuration once it is installed. Just run it. Because all Brakeman needs is source code, Brakeman can be run at any stage of development: you can generate a new application with rails new and immediately check it with Brakeman. Since Brakeman does not rely on spidering sites to determine all their pages, it can provide more complete coverage of an application. This includes pages which may not be ‘live’ yet. In theory, Brakeman can find security vulnerabilities before they become exploitable. Brakeman is specifically built for Ruby on Rails applications, so it can easily check configuration settings for best practices.

    Clair

    Clair

    Clair

    Clair is an open-source project for the static analysis of vulnerabilities in application containers (currently including OCI and docker). Clients use the Clair API to index their container images and can then match it against known vulnerabilities. Our goal is to enable a more transparent view of the security of the container-based infrastructure. Thus, the project was named Clair after the French term which translates to clear, bright, and transparent. Manifests are Clair's representation of a container image. Clair leverages the fact that OCI Manifests and Layers are content-addressed to reduce duplicated work.
