Lets you find defects during the development phase, so you don't have to wait till the development is over to find and address flaws

What needs improvement in Klocwork, compared to other products in the market, is the dashboard or reporting mechanisms that need to be a bit more flexible. The Klocwork dashboard could be improved. Though it's good, it's not as good as some of the other products in the market, which is a problem. The reporting could be more detailed and easier to sort out because sorting in Klocwork could be a bit more time-consuming, mainly when sorting defects based on filters, compared to how it's done on other tools such as Coverity. What I'd like added in the next release of Klocwork is the peer code review Cahoots which used to be a part of Klocwork, and the architecture analysis and both have been taken out of Klocwork. I found the two critical for specific deployments, so if those can be brought back to Klocwork, that would be very good.

Test assurance improves compliance and products with good performance

The user interface could be improved to facilitate easier navigation. The most significant issue I encounter with the solution is the user interface. It would be beneficial if I could remain on one screen most of the time. Even if the system navigates me to another screen, it should effectively return me to the main screen.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"On-the-fly analysis and incremental analysis are the best parts of Klocwork. Currently, we are using both of these features very effectively."

"Klocwork's most valuable feature is the static code analysis feature. It detects the potential problem earlier to allow the developer to receive feedback quickly and then address it before it becomes a problem."

"There is a central Klocwork server at our headquarter in France so we connect the client directly to the server on-premises remotely."

"One can increase the number of vendors, so the solution is scalable."

"It's integrated into our CI, continuous integration."

"The most valuable feature is the Incremental analysis."

"The tool helps the team to think beforehand about corner cases or potential bugs that might arise in real-time."

"The most valuable feature of Klocwork is finding defects while you're doing the coding. For example, if you have an IDE plug-in of Klocwork on Visual Studio or Eclipse, you can find the faults; similar to using spell check on Word, you can find out defects during the development phase, which means that you don't have to wait till the development is over to find the flaws and address the deficiencies. I also find language support in Klocwork good because it used to support only C, C++, C#, and Java, but now, it also supports Java scripts and Python."

More Klocwork pros

"Our customers use it to check for unauthorized file transfer."

"The testing compliance feature is particularly impressive."

"CyberFlood's best features are its user-friendliness and scheduling function."

"The testing compliance feature is particularly impressive."

"CyberFlood is flexible."

"The feature I find most valuable is the traffic generator."

Cons

"Klocwork sometimes provides too many additional warnings which require expertise to manage."

"I believe it should support more languages, such as Python and JavaScript."

"Now the only issue we have is that whenever we need to get the code we have to build it first. Then we can get the report."

"What needs improvement in Klocwork, compared to other products in the market, is the dashboard or reporting mechanisms that need to be a bit more flexible. The Klocwork dashboard could be improved. Though it's good, it's not as good as some of the other products in the market, which is a problem. The reporting could be more detailed and easier to sort out because sorting in Klocwork could be a bit more time-consuming, mainly when sorting defects based on filters, compared to how it's done on other tools such as Coverity."

"This solution could be improved if they offered support of more languages including Ada and Golang. They currently only support seven languages."

"There are too many warnings, and it requires expertise to determine the correct category for them."

"Klocwork sometimes provides too many additional warnings which require expertise to manage."

"I would like to see better codes between projects and a more user-friendly desktop in the next release."

More Klocwork cons

"CyberFlood's accessibility and support for multiple browsers could be better."

"The user interface could be improved to facilitate easier navigation."

"The initial setup is not straightforward and can be quite challenging."

"Sometimes, when you configure parameters the hardware can't run, it will get stuck at those points without telling you what happened. It would be helpful if the error reporting provided more details about why the test setting is not running. It would be nice if there were a space in the hardware module for you to add some external hardware for more rigorous testing."

"I would also like to see updates on a more frequent schedule."

"The solution needs more ports, more speed, and more gigabytes."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When it comes to licensing, the solution has two packages, one for a fixed and the other for a floating server, with the former being more cost effective than the latter."

"There are other solutions on the market such as Microsoft Visual Studio. They have been adding more static code analysis features that come for free. It is getting better all the time. That is one of the possibilities is that we've been considering that we may stop using the Klocwork because it doesn't give us any added value."

"The limitation that we have is that Klocwork is licensed to certain programs, and if you want to license them to other programs, you have to pay more money."

"This solution offers competitive pricing."

"Klocwork is still tight on their licensing. If Klocwork would loosen up on the licensing, and where the license could be used, and how many different programs could be run on it, then we have several development programs that I would love to be able to use it for going forward."

"Klocwork should not to be quite so heavy handed on the licensing for very specific programs."

"Licensing fees are paid annually, but they also have a perpetual license."

"The pricing for Klocwork is very competitive if you compare it from apple to apple. It has competitive pricing regarding the licensing model and the per-license cost. Klocwork isn't a high-end investment for anyone deploying it; even SMBs can afford it. The Klocwork cost per user would depend on the license type, so I'm unable to mention a ballpark figure because it would depend on the type of installation and how the deployment will be, and the nodes to give an accurate calculation or figure. The total price depends on the package, so my company could never publish pricing for Klocwork on the website. My team first collects information from potential clients on the deployment scenario, project environment, etc., before suggesting a package for Klocwork. My rating for Klocwork in terms of pricing is a five because of its flexible license models. There's a license model for every type of organization, whether small, midsize, or enterprise, so it's a five out of five for me."

"CyberFlood is reasonably priced."
