Abstract
Static code analysis is a widespread analysis method used in software industry. It helps to estimate software quality and also to conduct code reviews in earlier stages of the software project.
This thesis represents a service-based approach to developing static code analysers using private source code principle. To demonstrate the sensibility and feasibility of this approach a prototype tool for analysing JavaScript source code was developed.
The JavaScript analyser is made as an extension to plugins-as-a-service solution XMLStyleHelper. The JavaScript analyser helps to estimate the complexity of code structure and gives an overview about functions in the software code.
The service-based approach employed by the JavaScript analyser has several advantages compared to standalone analysis tools and thanks to private source code principle it is also more acceptable for potential users.
