Software defects can cause much loss. Static bug-finding tools are believed to help detect and remove defects. These tools are designed to find programming errors; but, do they in fact help prevent actual defects that occur in the field and reported by users? If these tools had been used, would they have detected these field defects, and generated warn-ings that would direct programmers to fix them? To answer these questions, we perform an empirical study that investi-gates the effectiveness of state-of-the-art static bug finding tools on hundreds of reported and fixed defects extracted from three open source programs: Lucene, Rhino, and As-pectJ. Our study addresses the question: To what extent could field defects be found and detected by ...
