Knowledge-based systems reason over some knowledge base. Hence, an important issue for such systems is how to acquire the knowledge needed for their inference. This paper assesses active learning methods for acquiring knowledge for "static…
Static bug detection tools help developers detect problems in the code, including bad programming practices and potential defects. Recent efforts to integrate static bug detectors in modern software development workflows, such as in code…
Static Analysis (SA) tools are used to identify potential weaknesses in code and fix them in advance, while the code is being developed. In legacy codebases with high complexity, these rules-based static analysis tools generally report a…
Static analysis is an important approach for finding bugs and vulnerabilities in software. However, inspecting and confirming static warnings are challenging and time-consuming. In this paper, we present a novel solution that automatically…
Static analysis tools come in many forms andconfigurations, allowing them to handle various tasks in a (secure) development process: code style linting, bug/vulnerability detection, verification, etc., and adapt to the specific requirements…
Static bug detection tools help developers detect code problems. However, it is known that they remain underutilized due to various reasons. Recent advances to incorporate static bug detectors in modern software development workflows can…
Just like other software, spreadsheets can contain significant faults. Static analysis is an accepted and well-established technique in software engineering known for its capability to discover faults. In recent years, a growing number of…
Static analysis tools are commonly used to detect defects before the code is released. Previous research has focused on their overall effectiveness and their ability to detect defects. However, little is known about the usage patterns of…
It is quite common for security testing to be delayed until after the software has been developed, but vulnerabilities may get noticed throughout the implementation phase and the earlier they are discovered, the easier and cheaper it will…
Static analysis tools are frequently used to detect potential vulnerabilities in software systems. However, an inevitable problem of these tools is their large number of warnings with a high false positive rate, which consumes time and…
Automated Static Analysis Tools (ASATs) are part of software development best practices. ASATs are able to warn developers about potential problems in the code. On the one hand, ASATs are based on best practices so there should be a…
Early identification of security issues in software development is vital to minimize their unanticipated impacts. Code review is a widely used manual analysis method that aims to uncover security issues along with other coding issues in…
In order to ensure the quality of software and prevent attacks from hackers on critical systems, static analysis tools are frequently utilized to detect vulnerabilities in the early development phase. However, these tools often report a…
Static code analysis (SCA) tools are widely used as effective ways to detect bugs and vulnerabilities in software systems. However, the reports generated by these tools often contain a large number of non-actionable findings, which can…
Static analysis remains one of the most popular approaches for detecting and correcting poor or vulnerable program code. It involves the examination of code listings, test results, or other documentation to identify errors, violations of…
Static analysis tools have gained popularity among developers for finding potential bugs, but their widespread adoption is hindered by the accomnpanying high false alarm rates (up to 90%). To address this challenge, previous studies…
Background. Developers use Automated Static Analysis Tools (ASATs) to control for potential quality issues in source code, including defects and technical debt. Tool vendors have devised quite a number of tools, which makes it harder for…
Static Code Analysis (SCA) tools, while invaluable for identifying potential coding problems, functional bugs, or vulnerabilities, often generate an overwhelming number of warnings, many of which are non-actionable. This overload of alerts…
Over 70% of security vulnerabilities in critical software systems today result from memory safety violations. To address this challenge, fuzzing and static analysis are widely used automated methods to discover such vulnerabilities. Fuzzing…
Static code analysis tools are designed to aid software developers to build better quality software in less time, by detecting defects early in the software development life cycle. Even the most experienced developer regularly introduces…
