Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for refinement of static analysis of program code are disclosed. A report is received. The report was generated using initial static analysis of program code. The report indicates a plurality of warnings regarding the program code, at least some of which represent potential flaws, and the warnings are associated with a plurality of segments of the program code. Additional analysis of the segments of program code is performed. The additional analysis differs at least in part from the initial static analysis. Based at least in part on the additional analysis, at least some of the warnings are determined to represent false positives.
