GrammaTech Integrates Static Analysis with Eclipse Development Environment

(Ithaca, New York/USA, 23 April 2013)

GrammaTech CodeSonar will be integrated with the Eclipse IDE. This integration will provide developers with the ability to correct programming defects found by CodeSonar without leaving Eclipse. Developers can use CodeSonar´s Eclipse plug-in to run a CodeSonar analysis from within Eclipse, allowing them to examine their code on the desktop and fix issues before check-in. Results are automatically synchronized with a central server running at the customer site, enabling the development team to manage results in a coordinated way. For example, when a user categorizes a defect warning as a high-priority issue, the categorization is propagated to the rest of the users. Users can also compare the results of different analysis runs, for instance, comparing an analysis performed locally to a nightly build analysis, to focus on newly-introduced coding errors.
The CodeSonar Eclipse plug-in is expected to be available late this summer. Customers with a current software maintenance contract will receive it at no additional charge.

GrammaTech Selected for More Than $8M in Research Contracts

(Ithaca, New York/USA, 22 April 2013)

GrammaTech Inc. has been selected for award on more than eight and a quarter million dollars in research contracts. GrammaTech performs sponsored research for many branches of the U.S. Government. Over its twenty-five year history, government customers have included the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and National Science Foundation (NSF).
In the past four months, GrammaTech submitted eight proposals, six of which have been selected for funding. The remaining two are still pending.
"These awards underscore the company´s continued success and the strength of our research team, which includes world-class experts in automated program analysis," said Tim Teitelbaum, GrammaTech´s CEO and Professor Emeritus in Cornell´s Computer Science Department. "We recently expanded our offices to include a branch in Madison, WI, and are aggressively growing our teams of talented computer scientists and software engineers in Ithaca, Madison, and New York City.".
The results of this research are tools used by software developers around the world to find critical bugs and security vulnerabilities in their code.

GrammaTech Announces Static Analysis Tool for Examining Binaries

Ithaca, New York/USA, 5 March 2013)

GrammaTech today announced a ground breaking static-analysis tool for analyzing binary libraries and executables. CodeSonar for Binaries enables users to examine software for security vulnerabilities and malicious code, without the need for source code. Because the technology does not rely on debug or symbol-table information, it can examine the stripped executables normally shipped by software vendors. As a result, users can use CodeSonar for Binaries to perform a security analysis on software without any cooperation from the vendor. > further information

GrammaTech Announces Enhancements to CodeSonar Visualization

(Ithaca, New York/USA, 26 February 2013)

GrammaTech today unveiled new enhancements to CodeSonar´s software architecture visualization features. The newest features include a new treemap view designed to allow users to easily see the hierarchical structure of the code in a very information-dense form. The view uses colorization to show the density of defects in modules so users can easily identify the most problematic parts of the code.
The call graph is organized by module structure. Users can drill down to see a greater level of detail, choose different layouts such as treemap, circuit, cluster, flow, radial and other layouts, and attach persistent notes to the diagram. Transitions such as zooming or layout changes are fluid and real-time. > further information
