Secure coding is very important in software development to ensure code security is high using techniques such as static analysis, code auditing and dynamic analysis to ensure safe coding practices are followed.
What Tools can be used for Secure Coding?
There are a variety of tools to ensure code safety, mostly based on source code auditing and static analysis.
The options available really depend on the language being used with some tools focusing on many languages such as
Yasca – Multi-Language Static Analysis Toolset or specialist tools focusing on a single language like
Brakeman – Static Analysis Rails Security Scanner.
