Is Static Analysis Able to Identify Unnecessary Source Code?
Is Static Analysis Able to Identify Unnecessary Source Code? is a scholarly work by Roman Haas and Sven Apel, published in 2020 in ''ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology''. The main subjects of the publication include programming language, KPI driven code analysis, software development, agile software development, code generation, static analysis, code review, redundant code, static program analysis, centrality, test oracle, software, code reuse, software engineering, dead code, computer science, code, reliability engineering, source code, and certification. The study shows that recommendations generated from stability and centrality information point to unnecessary code that cannot be identified by dead code detectors.
