Organizational, political, and configuration mistakes in the deployment of a static source code analysis tool within a software development organization can result in most of the value of the tool being lost, even while apparently meeting…

Static software checking tools are useful as an additional automated software inspection step that can easily be integrated in the development cycle and assist in creating secure, reliable and high quality code. However, an often quoted…

Despite their ability to aid developers in detecting potential defects early in the software development life cycle, static analysis tools often suffer from precision issues (i.e., high false positive rates of reported alarms). To improve…

Static bug finders have been widely-adopted by developers to find bugs in real world software projects. They leverage predefined heuristic static analysis rules to scan source code or binary code of a software project, and report violations…

Static code analysis is a powerful approach to detect quality deficiencies such as performance bottlenecks, safety violations or security vulnerabilities already during a software system's implementation. Yet, as current software systems…

Web applications are distributed applications, they are programs that run on more than one computer and communicate through a network or server. This very distributed nature of web applications, combined with the scale and sheer complexity…

Mobile application security has been a major area of focus for security research over the course of the last decade. Numerous application analysis tools have been proposed in response to malicious, curious, or vulnerable apps. However,…

Static analysis tools are frequently used to scan the source code and detect deviations from the project coding guidelines. Given their importance, linters are often introduced to classrooms to educate students on how to detect and…

Previous work has shown that early resolution of issues detected by static code analyzers can prevent major costs later on. However, developers often ignore such issues for two main reasons. First, many issues should be interpreted to…

Statically-annotated types have been shown to aid developers in a number of programming tasks, and this benefit holds true even when static type checking is not used. It is hypothesized that this is because developers use type annotations…

Automated static analysis tools (ASATs) have become a major part of the software development workflow. Acting on the generated warnings, i.e., changing the code indicated in the warning, should be part of, at latest, the code review phase.…

The tools employed in the DevOps Toolchain generates a large quantity of data that is typically ignored or inspected only in particular occasions, at most. However, the analysis of such data could enable the extraction of useful information…

Context: Static code analysis (SCA) tools play a vital role in software development, reducing the cost and time required for code reviews. However, high false-positive and false-negative rates are reported for the best tools in the…

With the emergence of the Node.js ecosystem, JavaScript has become a widely-used programming language for implementing server-side web applications. In this paper, we present the first empirical study of static code analysis tools for…

The main stretch in the paper is buffer overflow anomaly occurring in major source codes, designed in various programming language. It describes the various as to how to improve your code and increase its strength to withstand security…

Detecting semantic interference remains a challenge in collaborative software development. Recent lightweight static analysis techniques improve efficiency over SDG-based methods, but they still suffer from a high rate of false positives. A…

Dynamic language features are widely available in programming languages to implement functionality that can adapt to multiple usage contexts, enabling reuse. Functionality such as data binding , object-relational mapping and user interface…

Static analyses overwhelmingly trade precision for soundness and automation. For this reason, their use-cases are restricted to situations where imprecision isn't prohibitive. In this paper, we propose and specify a static analysis that…

Static analysis is a growing application of software engineering, leading to a range of essential security tools, bug-finding tools, as well as software verification. Recent years show an increase of universal static analysis tools that…

To detect and fix bugs and security vulnerabilities, software companies use static analysis as part of the development process. However, static analysis code itself is also prone to bugs. To ensure a consistent level of precision, as…
