Bixie: finding and understanding inconsistent code

Tim McCarthy, Philipp Rümmer, Martin Schäf · International Conference on Software Engineering · 2015

We present Bixie, a tool to detect inconsistencies in Java code. Bixie detects inconsistent code at a higher precision than previous tools and provides novel fault localization techniques to explain why code is inconsistent. We demonstrate the usefulness of Bixie on over one million lines of code, show that it can detect inconsistencies at a low false alarm rate, and fix a number of inconsistencies in popular open-source projects.
