Improving the Quality of Web-based Enterprise Applications with Extended Static Checking: A Case Study
Frédéric Rioux, Patrice Chalin · Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science · 2006
ESC/Java2 is a tool that statically detects errors in Java programs and that uses the Java Modeling Language (JML) as its annotation language. ESC/Java2 can modularly reason about the code of a Java Web-based Enterprise Application (WEA) and uncover potential errors. In this paper, we assessed the effectiveness of ESC/Java2 at helping developers increase WEA quality by detecting design and implementation issues.
