Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for automatically classifying static analysis rules as being anomalous or not. One of the methods includes receiving alerts generated by a particular static analysis rule for a plurality of different software projects analyzed by a static analysis system. For each project, a respective alert proportion metric value is computed. Each of the plurality of different software projects is classified according to the alert proportion metric values as being one non-outlier projects or outlier projects. If more than a threshold number of projects were classified as being outlier projects for the particular static analysis rule, the particular static analysis rule is classified as an anomalous static analysis rule.
