AndersStatic Analysis for JavaScript vs. Java

Dynamic languages such as JavaScript have become immensely popular, but programmers still rely on tedious testing to find even the simplest errors in their code. How can we build static analysis tools for JavaScript to help the programmers write better code? What makes JavaScript more challenging than Java, seen from a static analysis point of view?
This talk gives an overview of lessons learned from two research projects - one involving string analysis for Java, and one about dataflow analysis for JavaScript.

Anders Møller is associate professor at Aarhus University where he is manager of CASA, Center for Advanced Software Analysis.

Session 1 - 10:30-12:00
