I guys,
i need a tool to analyse big app code:
- static: analyse if exceptions are well managed + respect basic coding rules
- dynamic : analyse memory (size & number of instances) + analyse use case (all methods called in a use case and how long they are)

i know Cast but too exepnsive
Devpartner cover static & dynamic
JProbe: cover dynamic but not really usefull for static

do you know other tools? maybe free?


Thanks

Would something like Checkstyle or PMD fit your needs for static analysis?

Chekstyle isn't enough
i take a look at PMD, thanks Michael

I think you can do fairly extensive stuff with the two ... if the builtin tests are not enough, you can write custom plugins which AFAIK have access to a full AST of the source.

Intellij IDEA has a pretty extensive set of static analysis options. You can configure each "error" to either be ignored or flagged as a warning or error ( yellow and red line down the side of the scrollbar ). Sadly I don't think there's a way of getting it to analyse files and spit out results, but if you use it day to day with the correct errors configured you'll it'll help a lot.

for dynamic analyse:

i love it.
