A static analysis tool is used to identify potential problems in the code without executing it. These tools analyze the source code to detect coding errors, vulnerabilities, and adherence to coding standards. By identifying issues early in the development process, static analysis helps prevent defects that could lead to significant problems later on. It is a proactive approach to improving code quality and maintaining robust software.References:
