I have used static analysis countless times, when joining an existing project/codebase, to immediately contribute to the team. If it hasn’t been in use, using a static analyzer to nail catastrophically ignored issues can be a real godsend during a crunch.
But, also, other good practices precede this, too. Treating Warnings-As-Errors, Code-Rule Checks, etc. can also be enough to keep a typical code-base clean and tidy.
