The article, titled ‘Software development bugs: How to identify and prevent them’, the  magazine has a Q & A with Dror Helper, to identify proper techniques to find those bugs early in the cycle, when they are least potent.

What types of bugs are typically introduced in each step of the application lifecycle?

An application lifecycle can be divided into five stages: requirements, design, development, testing and deployment. In each stage, a different kind of bug can be introduced. In the requirement stage, we can “forget” one of the requirements which would result in an incomplete product while a bug in the design stage would probably mean that the product does not work as intended.

Jlint will check your Java code and find bugs, inconsistencies and synchronization problems by doing data flow analysis and building the lock graph.

Jlint is extremely fast – even on large projects, it requires only one second to check all classes! It is easy to learn and requires no changes in the class files.  Jlint has been used in an industrial environment and successfully uncovered faults with little effort! This version of Jlint is the extended version featuring some improved synchronization checks.  The original version has been written by Konstantin Knizhnik.
