Program Analysis: Course Description

Checking computer program code for errors and inefficiency is a vital but complex and time-consuming task. That's why it's important to develop tools that can scan programs automatically and root out problems. This Software Engineering OpenCourseWare from MIT in Cambridge will teach you about a number of methods and algorithms that have been developed for this task. Professor Michael Ernst presents graduate students with information on both static and dynamic analysis tools. The class information also contains a breakdown of points-to analysis in a study notes format. This course can benefit students studying for a Master of Software Engineering degree.

One notes handout, a sample assignment, a list of readings and several completed final projects from past students are available online. If you're interested in this free course, visit the program analysis course page.
