The usability of static analysis tooling has well-documented usability issues. In this project, we explore how to build static analysis tools that helps code developers understand and fix complex bugs, and how to engage them with a comprehensive, user-friendly GUI. The artifacts below report on an early study: a simple cognitive walkthrough.
