Are automated static analysis tools worth it? An investigation into relative warning density and external software quality

Alexander Trautsch, Steffen Herbold, Jens Grabowski

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, AS…

What really changes when developers intend to improve their source code: a commit-level study of static metric value and static analysis warning changes

Alexander Trautsch, Johannes Erbel, Steffen Herbold +1

Many software metrics are designed to measure aspects that are believed to be related to software quality. Static software metrics, e.g., size, complexity and coupling are used in…

A new perspective on the competent programmer hypothesis through the reproduction of bugs with repeated mutations

Zaheed Ahmed, Eike Stein, Steffen Herbold +2

The competent programmer hypothesis states that most programmers are competent enough to create correct or almost correct source code. Because this implies that bugs should usually…

A Longitudinal Study of Static Analysis Warning Evolution and the Effects of PMD on Software Quality in Apache Open Source Projects

Alexander Trautsch, Steffen Herbold, Jens Grabowski

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 wa…
