Existing software systems contain a significant amount of duplicated code. Such redundancy can negatively impact program correctness, since inconsistent updates to duplicated code ...
—Static analysis tools have been widely used to detect potential defects without executing programs. It helps programmers raise the awareness about subtle correctness issues in t...
Automatically detecting bugs in programs has been a long-held goal in software engineering. Many techniques exist, trading-off varying levels of automation, thoroughness of covera...
