Five Benefits of Secure Source Code Analysis for Businesses

In recent years, the importance of software code quality and security has spiraled and asserted the importance of secure source code analysis as a preemptive measure. Businesses must invest in a robust program for source code analysis that will help identify flaws in the applications or software.
The popularity and importance if such analyses has brought about the passing of several laws and regulations that call for secure source code analysis as an organization mandate to safeguard their software from bugs. The following are the most important business benefits offers by code analysis:
1)By employing a capable Source Code Analysis (SCA) tool, businesses can scan code fragments, irrespective of compilation errors or syntactic errors. The incomplete code can also be scanned in the midst of a development process, thus exposing any serious vulnerabilities early on, in the development life cycle.
2)With the emergence of several languages under various cloud computing scenarios, the PaaS-provider is accountable for the validation, compilation, and execution of the programs. This means the code has no manifestation as a byte-code or binary, which calls for a SCA to be done on the source code itself. In this way, SCA helps support this new paradigm.
3)Businesses can save substantially, in terms of resources and time, through secure source code analysis as it can help in early detection and mitigation of flaws. By locating vulnerabilities before the software is produced on a large scale and deployed, the SCA tool helps eliminate repair and maintenance costs that would have been otherwise incurred.
4)Since security source code analysis depends on predefined security principles to pick on potentially problematic code, this can help your business become more familiar with common or recurring programming flaws, such as anti-patterns, logic errors, and memory leaks. Applying the analysis multiple times across different coding projects helps reduce project delivery timelines.
5)Unlike black-box testing and pen testing, which is tedious and is not really capable of identifying the exact location of a security flaw, SCA pinpoints the specific weak points in the code. This significantly speeds up and simplifies the remediation process. With a single scan, secure source code analysis can particularly pick out dozens or even hundreds of bugs.
