Code Spotter vs Sourcegraph: What are the differences?

Code Spotter: Cloud-based Static Code Analysis for Java. Boolean satisfiability. Interprocedural data flow. Statistical analysis. We’ve got them all. Plus false path pruning, which understands the data dependencies in your code and eliminates infeasible paths from the analysis so you don’t waste time triaging non issues; Sourcegraph: Code search and code intelligence for you and your team. Sourcegraph is a code search engine that lets you search across hundreds of thousands of libraries and browse code in the same way you can do in a great IDE. Search for a function, see live examples of how it’s used by other repositories, and jump to the definition of other code around it—even if the definition is in a completely different repository.

Code Spotter and Sourcegraph are primarily classified as "Code Review" and "Code Search" tools respectively.

Some of the features offered by Code Spotter are:

• Accurate Java source code analysis
• Easy to understand results
• Uncover issues faster with deep source code analysis – find that needle in the haystack.

On the other hand, Sourcegraph provides the following key features:

• Search open source and private code repositories by function or package
• find usage examples
• jump to definition
