Quotations
abstract ;;Quote: find bugs by automatic extraction of usage rules; as templates (beliefs) with few contradictions
59 ;;Quote: rules for automated checks of consistency
60 ;;Quote: using consistency rules to catch null reference errors
61 ;;Quote: Metal is a state machine language for analyzing programs; like yacc
61 ;;Quote: rank potential errors by ease-of-diagnosis, seriousness, and likelihood of false positives; rarely inspect all errors
61 ;;Quote: static source code analysis is automatic, descriptive, and finds bugs in untestable code
62 ;;Quote: extend static source code analysis to related code that shares the same belief set
63 ;;Quote: rank potential errors by the z statistic for proportions; deviation of observed ratio from expected ratio
63 ;;Quote: rank potential errors instead of beliefs; beliefs are too sensitive to threshold
64 ;;Quote: latent specifications in text by naming conventions, assertions, etc.; e.g., lock.. and unlock.., free.. and release..
