Hello Lucene Developers,
First, if this query is mis-directed, please accept our humble apologies. In this case, I deeply appreciate if I could be told where to send this question. In the interest of reducing your traffic, I respectfully suggest that replies be sent to "instructor.deva...@gmail.com" We are a group of researchers at UC Davis who have been studying the comparative benefits of static analysis tools (i.e.,, FindBugs, PMD, JLint) and statistical defect prediction in helping find post-release defects. In this context we would very much like to know if/how static analysis tools are being used by committers in this project. a) Do you use Findbugs, or Jlint, or PMD? (If NO, just skip the rest of the questions) b) Are these tools routinely run as part of the project build/commit scripts (viz., somehow warnings are looked at by developers as part of the routine building/commiting process)? Which ones? c) Are there individual developers that use FindBugs/Jlint/PMD Routinely? Who are you? Which tools? d) Are there developers who use these tools sporadically? Which ones? e) Is any Lucene dev using statistical defect prediction? Prem Devanbu, Professor, Computer Science, UC Davis.
