A reliable solution that provides excellent features and detects memory corruption
The run time analysis process must be improved. If we do not run with the main loop, it generates its own main and doesn’t allow developers to modify the execution sequences. The solution must provide more flexibility to the developers to manipulate the runtime analysis tools. The developer must be allowed to modify the main sequence. It will be very easy for them to test their use cases. Otherwise, Polyspace generates a random main file and executes all the functions randomly.

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

Pros

"Polyspace Code Prover has made me realize it differs from other static code analysis tools because it runs the code. So it's quite distinct in that aspect."
"When we work on safety modules, it is mandatory to fulfill ISO 26262 compliance. Using Prover helps fulfill the standard on top of many other quality checks, like division by zero, data type casts, and null pointer dereferences."
"Polyspace Code Prover is a very user-friendly tool."
"The product detects memory corruptions."
"The outputs are very reliable."
"In my area of expertise, I feel like it has almost everything I could possibly require at this moment."
"I rate PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional ten points out of ten."
"One useful function is the ability to send requests to the repeater without making actual requests through the browser, allowing me to modify requests easily."
"The solution scans web applications and supports APIs, which are the main features I really like."
"I have found the best features to be the performance and there are a lot of additional plugins available."
"The extension that it provides with the community version for the skills mapping is excellent."
"Once I capture the proxy, I'm able to transfer across. All the requested information is there. I can send across the request to what we call a repeater, where I get to ready the payload that I send to the application. Put in malicious content and then see if it's responding to it."
"It is a time-saver application."
 

Cons

"In the Professional version, we cannot link it with the CI/CD process."
"The Iran market does not have after-sales support. PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional needs to provide after-sales support."
