FindBugs is an open source static code analyser created by Bill Pugh and David Hovemeyer which detects possible bugs in Java programs.[2][3][4]. Potential errors are classified in four ranks: (i) scariest, (ii) scary, (iii) troubling and (iv) of concern. This is a hint to the developer about their possible impact or severity.[5] FindBugs operates on Java bytecode,[4] rather than source code. The software is distributed as a stand-alone GUI application. There are also plug-ins available for Eclipse,[6] NetBeans,[7] IntelliJ IDEA,[8][9][10] Gradle, Hudson,[11] Maven,[12] Bamboo[13] and Jenkins.[14]

Additional rule sets can be plugged in FindBugs to increase the set of checks performed.[15]

A successor to FindBugs has been created called SpotBugs.
