Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A system and method for facilitating verification of software code. A first program point is selected, from the software code, indicating static analysis warning to be reviewed. Further, review-assisting information including at least one of a set of modification points and a controlling condition are determined for the user to judge whether the warning generated is safe or unsafe. From the set of modification points, non-useful modification points may be filtered out in order to determine only relevant modification points. After filtering, the system presents the review-assisting information (relevant modification points and controlling conditions) in a systematic manner to the user for facilitating verification of the software code.
