Abstract :
This paper reports our experiences in using a fine-grained software inspection tool to increase productivity in both software security evidence construction and internals re-engineering, for a higher-assurance open source software project named Xenon. We explain why fined-grained tool-based inspection is essential for a higher-assurance open source project.
