| Description | Teaching code quality through manual code reviews scales poorly. Existing automated tools still miss relevant code quality defects and not all defects they report are relevant; they are also sometimes hard to adopt. The goal of my dissertation will be to identify relevant defects, develop new precise detectors for them and integrate those into an open-source automatic tool. This will improve the quality and availability of automatic code quality feedback. |
