FindBugs is an open source program created by William Pugh which looks for bugs in Java code[1][2]. It uses static analysis[1] [3] to identify hundreds of different potential types of errors[1] in Java programs. FindBugs operates on Java bytecode,[3] rather than source code. The software is distributed as a stand-alone GUI application. There are also plug-ins available for Eclipse, Netbeans [4], and IntelliJ IDEA[5][6][7]
