代码分析为软件开发、维护和质量保证带来了极大的好处。各种工具可以在几秒钟内发现代码缺陷甚至软件缺陷。对于许多项目和开发人员来说，代码分析工具在他们的日常工作中变得必不可少。然而，代码分析如何在企业环境中提供帮助呢？企业软件解决方案的规模和复杂性都在增长。这些解决方案不再只涉及简单的对象和基本的语言结构，而是与各种组件和机制一起操作，简化了此类系统的开发。企业软件供应商采用了各种开发和设计标准；然而，在企业框架所使用的结构和当前代码分析工具所识别的结构之间存在着差距。本文旨在挑战代码分析的主流研究方向，并激励人们向具有有趣问题和机会的企业系统代码分析过渡。特别地，这篇稿子讨论了在单片和分布式企业解决方案中明显存在的一些企业问题。它还考虑了与最近向微服务架构推进的架构相关的挑战。随着一些挑战的开源概念验证原型，这份手稿详细阐述了代码分析方向及其分类。此外，它还提出了使用面向方面编程的问题领域的一种可能的视角。
Code analysis brings excellent benefits to software development, maintenance, and quality assurance. Various tools can uncover code defects or even software bugs in a range of seconds. For many projects and developers, the code analysis tools became essential in their daily routines. However, how can code analysis help in an enterprise environment? Enterprise software solutions grow in scale and complexity. These solutions no longer involve only plain objects and basic language constructs but operate with various components and mechanisms simplifying the development of such systems. Enterprise software vendors have adopted various development and design standards; however, there is a gap between what constructs the enterprise frameworks use and what current code analysis tools recognize. This manuscript aims to challenge the mainstream research directions of code analysis and motivate for a transition towards code analysis of enterprise systems with interesting problems and opportunities. In particular, this manuscript addresses selected enterprise problems apparent for monolithic and distributed enterprise solutions. It also considers challenges related to the recent architectural push towards a microservice architecture. Along with open-source proof-of-concept prototypes to some of the challenges, this manuscript elaborates on code analysis directions and their categorization. Furthermore, it suggests one possible perspective of the problem area using aspect-oriented programming.
