What is Contextual Analysis?
Ounce Labs’ patented Contextual Analysis technology allows source code to be automatically analyzed in a depth and level of detail never before possible. The context in which a call is used determines whether or not it is truly vulnerable. Ounce determines vulnerabilities by tracking the flow of data through an application, using cross-module, cross-language, semantic and data flow analysis to deliver the most complete understanding of your software risk. This unique source code analysis technology enables the Ounce product to understand the complex interrelationships between individual calls, modules, data elements, and processes.
