Twitter open-sources Diffy, a tool for automatically spotting bugs in code

[jos]

Twitter is today announcing the availability of Diffy, a new piece of open-source software that developers can use to spot bugs when they’re making updates to certain parts of code.

 

Twitter uses the code internally. Now the social networking company is releasing it to the rest of the world.

 

The tool should come in handy for those who frequently push new versions of code for specific parts of applications. Developers can run unit tests, but they take time.

 

It is open source.. developers can now save money..

There's also another thing developers can do. Grep for bugs: https://grepbugs.com/browse where it searches for known security vulnerability holes in your code. And has found over 169,000 matches so far.
