On which principal do the code quality check tools work?

For example PMD, FindBugs, CheckStyle etc.

Do they use some kind of computer science principals?

  • They're all open source. Do you have a specific question about something they're doing in that source? – Wooble Aug 20 '13 at 12:34
  • Not a specific question but wanted to ask how do they analyze the code? – Sam Aug 20 '13 at 12:51

FWIW, FindBugs is the result of David H. Hovemeyer's PhD thesis. The FindBugs documentation also lists several more papers.
