Understanding Developer-Analyzer Interactions in Code Reviews
Abstract
Static code analyzers are now a common part of the codereview process. These automated tools integrate into the code review process by commenting on code changes and suggesting improvements, in the same way as human reviewers. The comments made by static analyzers often trigger a conversation between developers to align on if and how the issue should be fixed. Because developers rarely give feedback directly to the tool, understanding the sentiment and intent in the conversation triggered by the tool comments can be used to measure the usefulness of the static analyzer.
