Abstract

Static code analysis tools have been widely used as a resource for early error detection in software development. This paper explores the use of SonarQube together with Formal Concept Analysis, used for detecting data clusters, in enhancing source code quality among junior developers by facilitating the early detection of various quality issues and revealing dependencies among detected issues. We analyze the distribution of bad-practice issues in junior developers’ projects and show where the main problems occur, as well as the associations of bad practice issues with other types of issues. We conclude the analysis with a comparison between Python and Java projects with respect to the mentioned aspects. While focusing the analysis on issues related to bad practices in both Java and Python projects, the paper aims to to uncover challenges faced by junior developers in Java and Python projects, promoting awareness of code quality.
