METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REPOSITIONING OF A PLURALITY OF STATIC ANALYSIS ALARMS

This disclosure relates generally to a system and a method for repositioning of a plurality of static analysis alarms is provided. The proposed repositioned techniques, reposition each of the static analysis alarms from the set of static analysis alarms up or down the application code from the program points of their original reporting, for reducing the number of static analysis alarms reported or for reporting them closer to their causes or for both the objectives. Further the proposed repositioning techniques also ensure that the repositioning of the static analysis alarms is without affecting the errors uncovered by them. Further the disclosure also proposes to maintain traceability links between a repositioned static analysis alarm and its corresponding static analysis alarm(s). Further the disclosure proposes to display the repositioned static analysis alarms to the user instead of the set of static analysis alarms, for reducing redundancy from reporting and manual inspections of the set of static analysis alarms. Furthermore the disclosure proposes to display the traceability links only if a user requests for the same.
