Software code review is an inspection of a code change by an independent third-party
developer in order to identify and fix defects before an integration. Effectively performing …

Automatic static analysis tools (ASATs) are instruments that support code quality
assessment by automatically detecting defects and design issues. Despite their popularity …

Static analysis tools help developers find bugs, improve code readability, and ensure
consistent style across a project. However, these tools can be difficult to smoothly integrate …

Code review is effective, but human-intensive (eg, developers need to manually modify
source code until it is approved). Recently, prior work proposed a Neural Machine …
