Thomas Nikolay commented on MPMD-383:
-------------------------------------
[~elharo]
If a tool like PMD is used in a project, then the tool becomes the norm in that
project.
If the tool then fails, it is a mistake because it violates the standard
expectations. The expectation is that the code has been checked.
Higher-level standards, such as ISO 27001, even specify that static code
analyses be performed. If the tool fails and no one notices, this can lead to
serious problems.
