Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide program code auditing systems and methods that detect unsafe code and possible errors, such as bugs or security flaws. In some embodiments, the concept of entropy of information is used to estimate when a section of program code may contain a flaw or bug. One or more histories may be used to calculate these entropy values.
