Abstract
A computer-implemented consolidation method is provided for identifying software vulnerability anomalies in a source code. This method includes providing a plurality of diagnostic tools; receiving the source code; selecting a subset plurality of tools; scanning the source code by the subset plurality for the anomalies to produce a diagnostic output; sorting the output by removing anomaly duplicates into a report; and saving the report into memory. Each tool among the plurality is able to detect the anomalies in software.
