Lessons from Building Static Analysis Tools at Google
Abstract
In this article, we describe how we have applied the lessons
from Google’s previous experience with FindBugs Java analysis,
as well as lessons from the academic literature, to build
a successful static analysis infrastructure that is used daily
by the majority of engineers at Google. Our tooling detects
thousands of issues per day that are fixed by engineers, by
their own choice, before the problematic code is checked into
the codebase.
