Engineering of Reliable and Secure Software via Customizable Integrated Compilation Systems

Scherer, Oliver

Abstract (englisch):

Lack of software quality can cause enormous unpredictable costs. Many strategies exist to prevent or detect defects as early in the development process as possible and can generally be separated into proactive and reactive measures. Proactive measures in this context are schemes where defects are avoided by planning a project in a way that reduces the probability of mistakes. They are expensive upfront without providing a directly visible benefit, have low acceptance by developers or don't scale with the project. On the other hand, purely reactive measures only fix bugs as they are found and thus do not yield any guarantees about the correctness of the project.
In this thesis, a new method is introduced, which allows focusing on the project specific issues and decreases the discrepancies between the abstract system model and the final software product. The first component of this method is a system that allows any developer in a project to implement new static analyses and integrate them into the project. The integration is done in a manner that automatically prevents any other project developer from accidentally violating the rule that the new static analysis checks. ... mehr
