Overview
Findbugs is a static analyser which can detect errors in Java programs. Findbugs can find a large number of potential errors, however, they often include false positives. The goal of this project is to enhance Findbugs by reducing the number of false positives it reports, but not at the expense of any true errors.
The aim of this project is to provide a system which will reduce the number of false positives reported by Findbugs. This will include an investigation of a number of potential strategies, for example, machine learning techniques, and implementing at least one of the possible strategies identified.
This is an experimentation with significant software development-based project, and aims to have a working system when the time comes to submit. The experimentation comes in discovering the best way to reduce the false positives, the one example mentioned, machine learning, being one of many. I'll use a following entry to discuss some brainstormed ideas for approaching the problem.
