Static Analysis and Continuous Integration

Speakers: Jeffrey Fredrick, UrbanCode Technical Evangelist; Alen Zukich, Director of Product Management, Klocwork

For modern software development organizations faced with time-to-market pressures and increasing code complexity, automating key steps in the development lifecycle — including defect detection, builds and deployments — offers important productivity benefits. The ability to immediately assess the impact of changes, generate continuous feedback on product stability, and reduce the effort associated with fixing issues found late in the cycle, allows development organizations to focus on creating higher quality products in less time. Attendees will learn how combining fast, effective source code analysis and scalable, end-to-end lifecycle automation allows global development organizations to achieve key productivity gains within the software development lifecycle.
