Query: Introduction of Static Quality Analysis in Small and Medium-Sized
  Software Enterprises: Experiences from Technology Transfer   Today, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the software industry
face major challenges. Their resource constraints require high efficiency in
development. Furthermore, quality assurance (QA) measures need to be taken to
mitigate the risk of additional, expensive effort for bug fixes or
compensations. Automated static analysis (ASA) can reduce this risk because it
promises low application effort. SMEs seem to take little advantage of this
opportunity. Instead, they still mainly rely on the dynamic analysis approach
of software testing. In this article, we report on our experiences from a
technology transfer project. Our aim was to evaluate the results static
analysis can provide for SMEs as well as the problems that occur when
introducing and using static analysis in SMEs. We analysed five software
projects from five collaborating SMEs using three different ASA techniques:
code clone detection, bug pattern detection and architecture conformance
analysis. Following the analysis, we applied a quality model to aggregate and
evaluate the results. Our study shows that the effort required to introduce ASA
techniques in SMEs is small (mostly below one person-hour each). Furthermore,
we encountered only few technical problems. By means of the analyses, we could
detect multiple defects in production code. The participating companies
perceived the analysis results to be a helpful addition to their current QA and
will include the analyses in their QA process. With the help of the Quamoco
quality model, we could efficiently aggregate and rate static analysis results.
However, we also encountered a partial mismatch with the opinions of the SMEs.
We conclude, that ASA and quality models can be a valuable and affordable
addition to the QA process of SMEs.
