 Upload-symbols tasks run after builds and upload the symbols files generated by
 build tasks to Socorro for later use in crash analysis.
 
 valgrind
 --------
 
 Valgrind tasks produce builds instrumented by valgrind.
 
+static-analysis
+---------------
+
+Static analysis builds use the compiler to perform some detailed analysis of
+the source code while building.  The useful output from these tasks are their
+build logs, and while they produce a binary, they do not upload it as an
+artifact.

 Tests
 -----
 
 Test tasks for Gecko products are divided into several kinds, but share a
 common implementation.  The process goes like this, based on a set of YAML
 files named in ``kind.yml``:
 
  * For each build task, determine the related test platforms based on the build
