Abstract

A method of analyzing target software for security vulnerabilities comprises, with a processor, scanning a codebase of a target software using a static analysis scan to identify a number of security flaws, and calculating a number of code metrics of the codebase of the target software for a number of iterations over a period of time to obtain a number of historical scans.
