Klocwork is a static code analysis tool owned by Minneapolis, Minnesota-based software developer Perforce. Klocwork software analyzes source code in real time, simplifies peer code reviews, and extends the life of complex software.[1]

Overview

Klocwork is used to identify security, safety and reliability issues in C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript and Python code.[2][3] The product includes numerous desktop plug-ins for developers, metrics and reporting.

History

Originally Klocwork’s technology was developed to address requirements for large-scale source code analysis to optimize software architecture for C code inside Nortel Networks and spun out in 2001.[4][5]

In January 2012, Klocwork Insight 9.5 was released.[6] It provided on-the-fly static analysis in Visual Studio, like a word processor does with spelling mistakes.

In May 2013, Klocwork Cahoots peer code review tool was launched.[7]

Awards and recognition

In 2007, Klocwork was awarded the 2007 InfoWorld Technology of Year award for best source code analyzer.[8]

In May 2014, Klocwork won the Red Herring Top 100 North America Award, in the software sector.[9]

Company history

In January 2014, the company was acquired by Rogue Wave Software.[12]

In January 2019, Rogue Wave was acquired by Minneapolis-based application software developer Perforce.[10]
