Rubberduck
Every programmer needs a rubberduck. COM add-in for the VBA & VB6 IDE
Rubberduck aims to bring the VBIDE into this century. Rubberduck understands Classic-VB code like no other add-in, giving it superior static code analysis capabilities that go far above and beyond what is possible with simple text-based analysis. Avoid common pitfalls (some not-so-common) with dozens (100+) of configurable inspections. Gain full control over module and member attributes, create a virtual folder hierarchy, and document modules and procedures, all with special comment annotations. Navigate a Classic-VB project like never before, quickly locating identifier references, interface implementations, and anything else that has a name. Add a full folder structure for organizing your modules. Write code that runs your code and verifies its output is as expected, given controlled inputs. Organize tests into categories, run them directly in the VBIDE, and view results in a dedicated explorer toolwindow. -

SpotBugs
A tool for static analysis to look for bugs in Java code
SpotBugs is a program that uses static analysis to look for bugs in Java code. It is free software, distributed under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License. SpotBugs is a fork of FindBugs (which is now an abandoned project), carrying on from the point where it left off with the support of its community. Please check the official manual for details. SpotBugs requires JRE (or JDK) 1.8.0 or later to run. However, it can analyze programs compiled for any version of Java, from 1.0 to 1.9. To build the SpotBugs plugin for Eclipse, you'll need to create the file eclipsePlugin/local.properties, containing a property eclipseRoot.dir that points to an Eclipse installation's root directory (see .travis.yml for an example), then run the build. -

PHPStan Symfony Framework extensions
Symfony extension for PHPStan
Symfony extension for PHPStan. Sometimes, when you are dealing with optional dependencies, the ::has() methods can cause problems. For example, the following construct would complain that the condition is always either on or off, depending on whether you have the dependency for service installed. You can opt in for more advanced analysis of Symfony Console Commands by providing the console application from your own application. This will allow the correct argument and option types to be inferred when accessing $input-getArgument() or $input->getOption(). -

Ruff
An extremely fast Python linter, written in Rust
An extremely fast Python linter, written in Rust. Ruff aims to be orders of magnitude faster than alternative tools while integrating more functionality behind a single, common interface. Ruff can be used to replace Flake8 (plus dozens of plugins), isort, pydocstyle, yesqa, eradicate, pyupgrade, and autoflake, all while executing tens or hundreds of times faster than any individual tool. Ruff is extremely actively developed and used in major open-source projects. Ruff can be configured through a pyproject.toml, ruff.toml, or .ruff.toml file (see: Configuration, or Settings for a complete list of all configuration options). Ruff supports over 500 lint rules, many of which are inspired by popular tools like Flake8, isort, pyupgrade, and others. Regardless of the rule's origin, Ruff re-implements every rule in Rust as a first-party feature. -

Elixir Code Smells
Catalog of Elixir-specific code smells
Elixir-Code-Smells is a research-driven catalog of code smells specific to the Elixir programming language. Unlike generic code smell lists, this project identifies issues emerging from Elixir’s functional, concurrent, and process-based nature. Initially compiled via grey literature (blogs, talks, forums), the catalog now includes 23 Elixir-specific smells plus 12 traditional smells adapted to Elixir. Each entry documents the name, category, problem, example, refactoring strategy, and step-by-step treatments. The smells are grouped into two categories: design-related (coarse-grained, harder to detect, affecting architecture/processes) and low-level concerns (fine-grained, often readability and maintainability issues). The catalog evolves with community feedback and contributions, aiming to help developers recognize harmful patterns and apply disciplined refactoring to improve maintainability, testability, and performance in Elixir systems. -

Error Prone
Catch common Java mistakes as compile-time errors
Error Prone is a static analysis tool for Java that catches common programming mistakes at compile-time. It’s common for even the best programmers to make simple mistakes. And sometimes a refactoring that seems safe can leave behind code that will never do what’s intended. We’re used to getting help from the compiler, but it doesn’t do much beyond static type checking. Using Error Prone to augment the compiler’s type analysis, you can catch more mistakes before they cost you time, or end up as bugs in production. We use Error Prone in Google’s Java build system to eliminate classes of serious bugs from entering our code, and we’ve open-sourced it, so you can too. -

JSHint
A tool that helps to detect errors and in your JavaScript code
JSHint is a community-driven tool that detects errors and potential problems in JavaScript code. Since JSHint is so flexible, you can easily adjust it in the environment you expect your code to execute. JSHint is publicly available and will always stay this way. The project aims to help JavaScript developers write complex programs without worrying about typos and language gotchas. Any code base eventually becomes huge at some point, so simple mistakes, that would not show themselves when written, can become show stoppers and add extra hours of debugging. So, static code analysis tools come into play and help developers spot such problems. JSHint scans a program written in JavaScript and reports about commonly made mistakes and potential bugs. The potential problem could be a syntax error, a bug due to an implicit type conversion, a leaking variable, or something else entirely. -
