Klocwork is a static code analysis tool owned by Minneapolis, Minnesota-based software developer Perforce. Klocwork software analyzes source code in real time, simplifies peer code reviews, and extends the life of complex software[citation needed].

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]
