Overview
Klocwork is used to identify security, safety and reliability issues in C, C++, Java and C# code.[1] The product includes numerous desktop plug-ins for developers, metrics and reporting.
History
Originally Klocwork’s technology was developed to address requirements for large-scale source code analysis to optimize software architecture for C code inside Nortel Networks and spun out in 2001.[2][3]
In January 2012, Klocwork Insight 9.5 was released.[4] It provided on-the-fly static analysis in Visual Studio, like a word processor does with spelling mistakes.
In May 2013, Klocwork Cahoots peer code review tool was launched.[5]
Awards and recognition
In 2007, Klocwork was awarded the 2007 InfoWorld Technology of Year award for best source code analyzer.[6]
In May 2014, Klocwork won the Red Herring Top 100 North America Award, in the software sector.[7]
