I'm not sure what advantage this has over Flow and the usual JIRA ticket management.

DeepScan runs data-flow analysis that is somewhat orthogonal to the type checking of Flow.

For example, BAD_MIN_MAX_FUNC rule detects an error in the following code, which is beyond type checking.

  x = Math.min(0, Math.max(100, x)); // BAD_MIN_MAX_FUNC alarm. The result is always 0.

The main diffrenece with JIRA ticket management is that it operates using information from code itself.

For example, it automatically tracks fixed and newly detected issues by a feature called historical defect merging.
