The acceleration of the software production cycle, limited testing resources, and the lack of security expertise among programmers require the identification of efficient software vulnerability predictors to highlight the system components on which testing should be focused. Although static code analyzers are often used to improve software quality together with machine learning and data mining for software vulnerability prediction, the work regarding the selection and evaluation of different types of relevant vulnerability features is still limited. Thus, in this paper, we examine features generated by SonarQube and CCCC tools, to identify those that can be used for software vulnerability prediction. We investigate the suitability of thirty-three different features to train thirteen distinct machine learning algorithms to design vulnerability predictors and identify the most relevant features that should be used for training. Our evaluation is based on a comprehensive feature selection process based on the correlation analysis of the features, together with four well-known feature selection techniques.

They attempt to capture the properties of programs, which developers can use to gain objective, reproducible and quantifiable measurements. These measurements can be applied in quality assurance, code debugging, and performance optimization. The relevance of their use is continuously increasing with software systems growing in complexity, size, and importance. Implementing metrics is a tiring and challenging task that most companies ought to surpass as part of their development process. Also, this task usually must be repeated for every language used. However, suppose we can decompose the implementation of software metrics into a sequence of basic queries to the source code that can be implemented in a language-independent way. In that case, these metrics can be applied to any language. Many programming languages share similar concepts (e.g., functions, loops, branches), which has led certain approaches to raise the abstraction level of source-code analysis and support mul- tiple languages. LARA is a framework developed in FEUP (Faculty of Engineering of the Univer- sity of Porto) for code analysis and transformation that is agnostic to the language being analyzed.

  • How Developers Engage with Static Analysis Tools in Different Contexts
    Noname manuscript No. (will be inserted by the editor) How Developers Engage with Static Analysis Tools in Different Contexts Carmine Vassallo · Sebastiano Panichella · Fabio Palomba · Sebastian Proksch · Harald C. Gall · Andy Zaidman This is an author-generated version. The final publication will be available at Springer. Abstract Automatic static analysis tools (ASATs) are instruments that sup- port code quality assessment by automatically detecting defects and design issues. Despite their popularity, they are characterized by (i) a high false positive rate and (ii) the low comprehensibility of the generated warnings. However, no prior studies have investigated the usage of ASATs in different development contexts (e.g., code reviews, regular development), nor how open source projects integrate ASATs into their workflows. These perspectives are paramount to improve the prioritization of the identified warnings. To shed light on the actual ASATs usage practices, in this paper we first survey 56 developers (66% from industry and 34% from open source projects) and inter- view 11 industrial experts leveraging ASATs in their workflow with the aim of understanding how they use ASATs in different contexts. Furthermore, to in- vestigate how ASATs are being used in the workflows of open source projects, we manually inspect the contribution guidelines of 176 open-source systems and extract the ASATs' configuration and build files from their corresponding GitHub repositories. Our study highlights that (i) 71% of developers do pay attention to different warning categories depending on the development con- text; (ii) 63% of our respondents rely on specific factors (e.g., team policies and composition) when prioritizing warnings to fix during their programming; and (iii) 66% of the projects define how to use specific ASATs, but only 37% enforce their usage for new contributions.

  • Bachelor Degree Project Do Software Code Smell Checkers Smell Themselves?
    Bachelor Degree Project Do Software Code Smell Checkers Smell Themselves? A Self Reflection Author: Amelie Löwe Author: Stefanos Bampovits Supervisor: Francis Palma Semester: VT/HT 2020 Subject: Computer Science Abstract Code smells are defined as poor implementation and coding practices, and as a result decrease the overall quality of a source code. A number of code smell detection tools are available to automatically detect poor implementation choices, i.e., code smells. The detection of code smells is essential in order to improve the quality of the source code. This report aims to evaluate the accuracy and quality of seven different open-source code smell detection tools, with the purpose of establishing their level of trustworthiness. To assess the trustworthiness of a tool, we utilize a controlled experiment in which several versions of each tool are scrutinized using the most recent version of the same tool. In particular, we wanted to verify to what extent the code smell detection tools that reveal code smells in other systems, contain smells themselves. We further study the evolution of code smells in the tools in terms of number, types of code smells and code smell density. Keywords: Code smells, Automatic detection, Code smell density, Refactoring, Best practices. Preface We would like to thank our supervisor Francis Palma for the continuous support, helpful advice and valuable guidance throughout this bachelor thesis process. Furthermore, we would also like to acknowledge all of the cups of coffee we consumed in the past couple
