Perform SAST at Scale

Use Klocwork static application security testing (SAST) for DevOps and DevSecOps. Our security standards identify security vulnerabilities — helping to find and fix security issues early and proving compliance to internationally recognized security standards. 

• DevSecOps: Klocwork integrates with CI/CD tools, containers, cloud services, and machine provisioning, making automated security testing easy.
• Security Standards: CWE, OWASP, CERT, PCI DSS, DISA STIG, and ISO/IEC TS 17961.
• Security Vulnerability Detection: SQL Injection, Tainted Data, Buffer Overflow, Vulnerable Coding Practices, and many more.
• Bug, Quality Issue, and Code Smell Detection: Null Pointer Deferences/Exceptions, Memory/Resource Leaks, Uncaught Exceptions, and more. 

Project Streams provides easy management of shared code bases that have multiple variants or branches by simplifying project rule configuration, issue management, defect citing, reporting, and efficient data storage of analysis data.

Creating streams provides the following benefits:

• Assign a single project rule configuration to all variants.
• Issues common to multiple variants are automatically kept in sync and only require citing once.
• Easily identify identical issues across multiple streams and issues unique to a specific stream.
• Generate reports on individual streams for compliance, functional safety, or other evidential purposes.
• More convenient organization and efficient storage of analysis data.

Perforce Klocwork tools are designed with Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery foremost in our thinking, which makes it easy to include static analysis as part of your CI/CD pipelines.

Using system context data from the Klocwork Server, it is possible to analyze only the files that changed while also providing differential analysis results as if the entire system had been analyzed. This provides you with the shortest possible analysis times.

Klocwork tools have common command line interfaces, the Klocwork defect data can be accessed via a REST API and all output formats use standard formats, such as XML, JSON, and PDF.

Klocwork can be run within containerized and Cloud build systems and supports the provisioning of machine instances as required. Providing maximum flexibility and opportunity to use internal or external Cloud services for code analysis.

Perforce Validate platform is a centralized store of analysis results from Perforce Helix QAC and Perforce Klocwork Static Analysis products. Validate provides analysis data, trends, and configurations for codebases across the organization — accessed through a web browser. It is also highly customizable, enabling your team to easily define specific QA and compliance rule configurations, identify issues and deviations, and review the entirety of the code by project and section to adequately meet your team’s needs.

By seamlessly integrating static analysis with the rest of your development toolset, Klocwork will shift-left defect detection and improve developer adoption as a tool for developer training and increasing productivity.

Klocwork provides out of the box support for hundreds of compilers and cross-compilers, so build integration is automatic.

Plugins for popular IDEs (including Microsoft Visual Studio, Eclipse, IntelliJ, and more).

Local code changes made using the connected desktop plugins provide immediate differential analysis results within IDEs.

Intraprocedural defects and coding violations are identified by severity of risk. For each defect and coding violation, you will receive detailed information of cause with rich, context-sensitive help and guidance on remediation. This allows for easily accessible opportunities for understanding and learning.

In addition, Klocwork features a Secure Code Warrior integration, which provides you with software security lessons and training tools for many common development languages as you write code.

A graphical custom checker creation tool makes the implementation of project- or organization-specific rules quick and easy — further enriching the learning opportunities.

Klocwork also integrates with architectural visualization and enforcement tools like Structure 101 to allow users to further improve the overall quality and maintainability of their code base through clean and correct dependencies.
