ABSTRACT

We all understand that software defects are a problem, and we want to make it easy to build more reliable software. But finding bugs is embarrassingly easy, as is devising a new program analysis technique that is able to find some bugs. Actually improving software quality through bug detection or bug localization tools is hard, and requires careful thinking about what really impacts software reliability and how your tool can fit into the entire software development process. I'll discuss some observations and attempts to address these issues from the perspective of the FindBugs project.
