While integrated development environments already do a good job by detecting, e.g., data-flow abnormalities, current static analysis tools suffer from false positives (&quot;noise&quot;) or require strong user interaction. We propose to avoid this deficiency by defining a new class of errors. A program fragment is doomed if its execution will inevitably fail, regardless of which state it is started in. We use a formal verification method to identify such errors fully automatically and, most significantly, without producing noise. We report on experiments with a prototype tool.","lang":"eng"}],"date_created":"2018-12-11T11:47:01Z","isi":1,"date_published":"2010-12-01T00:00:00Z","external_id":{"isi":["000286631700004"]},"doi":"10.1007/s10703-010-0102-0","oa_version":"None","article_processing_charge":"No"}
