Less is More: Supporting Developers in Vulnerability Detection during Code Review

Larissa Braz, Christian Aeberhard, Gül Çalikli, Alberto Bacchelli

Abstract

Reviewing source code from a security perspective has proven to be a difficult task. Indeed, previous research has shown that developers often miss even popular and easy-to-detect vulnerabilities during code review. Initial evidence suggests that a significant cause may lie in the reviewers' mental attitude and common practices.
