IBM has developed a tool to reduce errors in programming. Its Rational Software Analyser is designed to detect errors in software while the code is being written.
The product is basically a static code analyser, which is bit like a word processor for checking the "grammar" and "spelling" in source code. What sets IBM's Rational Software Analyser apart is that with its approach source code written in multiple languages can be analysed at the same time. The different pieces of source code are presented in the same integrated development environment.
Finding and fixing bugs in software is a costly business. Identifying and repairing software defects in a software application that is already in production can cost software developers more than £8100 for each defect.
An International Data Corporation (IDC) report found that economic conditions and problems with the way businesses are debugging software mean this could be a particularly important product. Companies are taking risks on software because, with businesses cutting staff in the tough market conditions, there are fewer people to fix bugs.
