Rational Software Analyzer Developer Edition

Give individual developers the tools to ensure software code quality

IBM® Rational® Software Analyzer Developer Edition is a static software analysis tool for individual users that helps ensure quality software code. It allows developers to review code and identify issues early in the development lifecycle to save the time and cost of fixing errors later.

Rational Software Analyzer Developer Edition features:

A deep set of analysis, metrics and architectural discovery rules applied across a variety of the most commonly used software languages.
Powerful reporting features that facilitate better project visibility.
A single, extensible framework that supports a unified workflow.
Integration with IBM Rational Team Concert™ and other tools to help ensure code quality checks meet governance and compliance requirements.

A deep set of analysis, metrics and architectural discovery rules

Features a single interface providing code review and data flow rules, software metrics and architectural discovery across a broad set of languages, including Java, C/C++ and others.
Enables analysis rules to run on all code across all releases to aid compliance.
Makes it easy for teams to customize rules, extending and creating new rules appropriate to their specific products.
Uncovers code-level issues and architectural problems early in the development phase to keep costs related to fixes and product maintenance down.

Powerful reporting features

Includes a rich set of out-of-the-box reports and metrics that deliver information about analysis scans to senior management and teams. Reports include details about code review, architectural discovery, software metrics and data flow.
Offers individual reports in XML, HTML and Adobe® PDF formats. Also allows you to use custom data export formats to suit your organization’s requirements.

A single, extensible framework

Supports a unified workflow, enabling utilization and centralized management of legacy and third-party technologies through the Rational Software Analyzer application programming interface (API).
Facilitates shell sharing with IBM Rational AppScan Developer Edition and Rational Application Developer, establishing multiple dimensions of an overall application intelligence platform spanning code quality, security vulnerability and application development scans.
Enables fast start-up and speedy time-to-value through integration into existing Eclipse environments.

Integration with IBM Rational Team Concert and other tools

Provides team collaboration through rule sharing and allows for incremental analysis.
Enables code quality governance to the developers IDE (integrated development environment) through pre-configured rules enforcement.
Allows for integration with other code analysis tools through use of a common, extensible framework.
