If you’re looking for A purely technical term and don’t care if “muggles” can understand, then

lint

can be what you look for.

In ML-Single Unix Specification, it’s mentioned lint is a program that checks for potential errors in a C language program source code. lint is a compiler which has read a whole list of sins in it. The specification did not specify the behavior of the program as the standard developers find it out of the scope. But to specify the behavior of the program is really not up to the mark.

Nowadays, lint refers not-specifically to a class of programs that checks for potential errors in textual or binary coded information set, such as es-lint that works with JavaScripts.
