Analista de Testing - QA Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Code Analysis matters" December 11, 2018 4.0 We are solving issues like backdoors that in-house developers or third parts could have or do. Always we are looking for very high and high security bugs that could compromise the security, integrity and confidentiality of the information. We have been finding bugs in development tine and in preproduction phase. Every bug is always a good way to learn and dont repeat it in the future. Pros I like a lot that Kiuwan it’s easy to use, by the other side, it helps a lot to development teams and QA members to find new opportunities to enrich the source code of every application. Cons I think it could help that results of the analysis could show a little more of the code involved, I mean, in the moment we see a bug details, you just can see the very specific line of code. I little more of code could help and sometimes avoid to go to the file. Review Source Md. Azizur R.
