Typically, software libraries provide API documentation, through which developers can learn how to use libraries correctly. However, developers may still write code inconsistent with API documentation and thus introduce bugs, as existing research shows that many developers are reluctant to carefully read API documentation. To find those bugs, researchers have proposed various detection approaches...
Java annotations and their predecessors XDoclet annotations are well positioned to offer a substantial benefit for developing and maintaining software by combining relevant metadata together with the code that makes use of them. In this paper we share the insights that we gained by developing the J2EE Connector Tools suite, which is part of IBM Rational Application Developer. This tools suite is used...
Large software projects often rely on third-party libraries, made accessible through application programming interfaces (APIs). We have observed many cases where APIs are used in ways that are not efficient. We developed a technique to automatically detect inefficient API usage in software projects. The main hypothesis underlying the technique is that client code that imitates the behavior of a library...
