Hi,
Just for grins, I decided to run some code analysis tools on FreeMind in
order to find out what kind of tools might be most useful to use. The
ones I'm using are static analysis, which has improved a great deal
since I last looked at it.
Since I'd already downloaded IntelliJIDEA for its 30-day free trial, I
decided it might be fun to run its analysis tools. Altogether, it
identified 4,440 items, most of which are nits. But it did identify 216
probable bugs, such as this one below:
Controller.java ...
if (map != null && map != "") {
It should be:
if (map != null && !map.equals("") {
There are 15 of those, all of which could cause problems.
There are also some others, mostly structural issues, where even if the
code isn't causing a bug, it probably could be written a bit more
clearly so a maintainer wasn't as likely to break something thinking
they were fixing something instead.
I'm looking into a number of open source analysis tools. I'll try to
find some that give us fairly good results and indicate which areas of
the code we should be paying extra attention to. If you have experience
with any you'd like me to look at, please let me know.
Ray
P.S.: I'm not going to pass on a list of 4,400 problems without vetting
it, so don't panic.
