"Every piece of software written has bugs. From the insignificant to the showstopper, bugs are there despite the herculean efforts of developers. But thanks to a new Debian project, many previously undetected bugs may finally get squashed.

"Automated Code Analysis helps detect and fix bugs and other issues in source code.

This is achieved by running those tools on the complete Debian archive."
