assurance. However, the existing body of knowledge of MCR is currently not understood as …

Automatic static analysis tools (ASATs) are instruments that support code quality
assessment by automatically detecting defects and design issues. Despite their popularity …

The use of automatic static analysis has been a software engineering best practice for
decades. However, we still do not know a lot about its use in real-world software projects …

Automatic static analysis tools (ASATs), such as Findbugs, have a high false alarm rate. The
large number of false alarms produced poses a barrier to adoption. Researchers have …

Static analysis tools are often used by software developers to entail early detection of
potential faults, vulnerabilities, code smells, or to assess the source code adherence to …

Automatic static analysis tools (ASATs) are tools that support automatic code quality
evaluation of software systems with the aim of (i) avoiding and/or removing bugs and (ii) …

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 …

Static analysis (SA) tools can generate useful static warnings to reveal the problematic code
snippets in a software system without dynamically executing the corresponding source code …

Although peer code review is widely adopted in both commercial and open source
development, existing studies suggest that such code reviews often contain a significant …
