"Static Analysis Tool"

5/5

What do you like best about FindBugs?

I have used Findbugs extensively while working on my thesis project where in it was necessary to detect dodgy code, potential issues related to multithreading and security. Findbugs performed reasonably well in detecting all of these potential issues which might lead to errors in future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FindBugs?

It would have been great if some more categories are added to Findbugs ruleset to perform static analysis in a much better way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FindBugs solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was working on developing a meta static analysis tool that will provide the end user with potential issues related to the Java programs since there is no single static analyser that could serve the purpose. During my research I found Findbugs to be performing quite well in comparison to other static analysis tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"FindBugs Integration right from development and unit testing"

4.5/5

What do you like best about FindBugs?

Easy IDE integration to fix the issues during development itself.

Integration with CI/CD

It also shows suggestions on how to ifix the issue during development itself

The number of false positive issues raised in find bugs was low when compared to other static code analyzing tools that we used.

Time taken for the source code analysis was also very much quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FindBugs?

Issue explanation can be a bit more detailed like showing some common issue examples.

Will be nice if findbugs includes more features to spot performance related issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FindBugs solving and how is that benefiting you?

Bad coding practise, security issues and correctness of the code are the issues we are trying to solve during development itself. This makes the code review a little easier to the team leads who do the review.

Customer Confidence Improves when we shows findbugs report as one of the evidence for code scanning.

The Ranking feature allows us to prioritise and focus on the high priority bugs immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Review the Bugger"

4.5/5

What do you like best about FindBugs?

The user interface which can be embedded with every possible IDE and OS is the best part.

We can fix the issues in any environment and check the status before deploying the application in server in you local is the best i like which i see it as developer friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FindBugs?

The bugs are provided with the priority but the priority of few bugs should be decided by the application developer and so the default priority provided by the findbugs may not be accurate at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FindBugs:

I use FIndbugs and other two code quality tools in my applcation as a java developer. coming to the ease of using i prefer Findbugs always. if i fix all my issues in findbugs it leads to resolving the other issues getting resolved in other two quality tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FindBugs solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problems related to the performance of the applications which may look small in developer stage but may cause major issues at the time of production like Thread dumps,memory leaks,null pointers etc etc

the major benefit includes the standard of the code which we get used to while continuously working on bug fixing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Clean Build"

5/5

What do you like best about FindBugs?

Yes I have used the the find bugs tool personally in one of the project I worked.It helps us to maintain the green build and allows the co-workers to check-in the code without any issue.It helps us to remove the unused objects and unwarranted code, in simple it keeps the code clean and build green. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FindBugs?

It would have better if it works a bit similar to the sonar cube code analyser.So that a single tool will do the multiple jobs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the best static code analysis tool"

5/5

What do you like best about FindBugs?

Find bug comes preloaded with IntelliJ and Eclipse, two ide s I heavily use for my day to day development.

FindBug allows me to spot potential NPE issues as well as spotty codes unnecessary variables. Which sometimes goes un-noticed. Also it warns against potential memory leaks.

We use FindBug as part of our ci/cd pipeline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FindBugs?

Identified bugs explanation can be better.

In pojo classes warning related to date and array properties are properly shown. But these warnings can be easily avoidable using some spotty workarounds. Also sometimes these findings are not relevant and makes code complex unnecessarily. Although we can supress these warnings but better analysis and detection cane be provided over these cases.
