Mutability Detector
A lightweight analysis tool for detecting mutability in Java classes through unit tests, runtime checks, and FindBugs integration.
What is Mutability Detector?
Mutability Detector is a lightweight analysis tool that examines Java classes to detect mutability, helping developers ensure objects are immutable. It solves the problem of subtle, hard-to-detect bugs in concurrent programs by automating the verification of immutability rules. The tool can be used in unit tests, as a FindBugs plugin, at runtime, or from the command line.
Java developers building concurrent systems or libraries that require immutable objects for thread safety. It's also useful for teams enforcing code quality standards around immutability.
Developers choose Mutability Detector for its strict, automated analysis that reduces the complexity of writing immutable classes and integrates seamlessly into existing workflows like unit testing and static analysis.
