RACE CATCHER VS FINDBUGS
A popular question is what's the difference in results between Static Analysis and Dynamic Analysis. Here is our answer.

Race Catcher is the only sophisticated Dynamic Analysis tool that we know of.
Below is a comparison between our Dynamic Analysis tool Race Catcher and a popular Static Analysis tool called FindBugs.
