Best Static Code Analysis Software

Compare the Top Static Code Analysis Software as of January 2026

What is Static Code Analysis Software?

Static code analysis software is software designed to examine source code for potential errors, vulnerabilities, and code quality issues without executing the program. It scans the code to detect syntax problems, security flaws, and non-compliance with coding standards. This type of software helps developers identify bugs early in the development process, improving code reliability and reducing debugging time later. Static code analysis also assists in maintaining code consistency across teams by enforcing best practices and coding guidelines. By automating the review process, the software enhances code quality, reduces technical debt, and contributes to more secure, maintainable software. Compare and read user reviews of the best Static Code Analysis software currently available using the table below. This list is updated regularly.

    Softagram

    Softagram

    Softagram

    Software projects tend to be complex and there is the law of entropy making it more complex all the time. The developers easily get lost in the dependency network and tend to create designs that does not stand time well. Softagram provides automatically illustrations on how the dependencies are changing. Automated integration works so that pull requsts (in GitHub, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps), merge requests (in GitLab) and patch sets (in Gerrit) are decorated with a dependency analysis report that pops up as a comment in the tool you already use. The analysis also covers other aspects such as open source licenses and quality. It can be tailored for your needs. Software audits can also be efficiently performed by using Softagram analysis together with Softagram Desktop app designed for advanced software understanding and auditing usage.

    Understand

    Understand

    SciTools

    Understand is a comprehensive static-analysis and code-comprehension platform that helps software engineers “see” and understand large, complex code bases, whether legacy, safety-critical, or modern multi-language projects. It parses your source code and builds a complete “code dictionary” of every entity (files, classes, functions, variables), populating cross-references, call trees, dependency graphs, control-flow diagrams, and more. Through interactive, customizable graphs and visualizations, call graphs, control flow graphs, dependency trees, and UML-style class diagrams, you can explore exactly how parts of the code connect, which modules depend on which, and where changes may ripple across the project. Understand also computes detailed metrics at various levels (file, class, function) such as cyclomatic complexity, lines of code, comment-to-code ratio, coupling/cohesion, and other maintainability indicators; these metrics can be viewed in treemaps, exported to HTML or CSV.
