The ambitious goal of Java code is to 'write once, run anywhere', a goal that becomes more achievable when tackled with the right tools. Being an object oriented language that is platform neutral makes Java's use prolific, but developing robust and reliable software all the more challenging.

Coding standards typically impose local platform requirements on developers, ensuring that the approved language subset specifically meets the requirements of the target application. With its expert knowledge of the Java platform, best practices and coding standards, PRQA has developed a static analysis tool that overcomes the issues associated with Java and the 'write once, run anywhere' mantra.

QA·J is a static analysis tool with an integral set of coding standards developed specifically for the Java language. Using QA·J provides developers with a comprehensive analysis engine that automatically enforces coding standards, introduces best practices and guards against performance issues.

The comprehensive and flexible reporting features of QA·J provide detailed analysis of Java source code using PRQA's own coding standard, as well as conformance reporting against ISO 9126; the international standard for evaluating software quality.
