An enterprise solution that enhances your code quality, security (SAST), and safety. PVS‑Studio is a static analyzer on guard of code quality, security (SAST), and code safety. PVS‑Studio detects various errors – typos, dead code, and potential vulnerabilities (Static Application Security Testing, SAST).
The analyzer matches warnings to the Common Weakness Enumeration, SEI CERT Coding Standards, and supports the MISRA standard.
We monitor all Static Application Security Testing (SAST) reviews to prevent fraudulent reviews and keep review quality high. We do not post reviews by company employees or direct competitors. We validate each review for authenticity via cross-reference with LinkedIn, and personal follow-up with the reviewer when necessary.
