| Abstract | Now that HTML5 technologies are everywhere from web services to various platforms, assuring quality of web applications becomes very important. While web application developers use syntactic checkers and type-related bug detectors, extremely dynamic features and diverse execution environments of web applications make it particularly difficult to statically analyze them leading to too many false positives. Recently, researchers have developed static analyzers for JavaScript web applications addressing quirky JavaScript language semantics and browser environments, but they lack empirical studies on the practicality of such analyzers. In this paper, we collect 30 JavaScript web applications in the wild, analyze them using SAFE, the state-of-the-art JavaScript static analyzer with bug detection, and investigate false positives in the analysis results. After manually inspecting them, we classify 7 reasons that cause the false positives: W3C APIs, browser-specific APIs, JavaScript library APIs, dynamic file loading, dynamic code generation, asynchronous calls, and others. Among them, we identify 4 cases which are the sources of false positives that we can practically reduce. Rather than striving for sound analysis with unrealistic assumptions, we choose to be intentionally unsound to analyze web applications in the real world with less false positives. Our evaluation shows that the approach effectively reduces false positives in statically analyzing web applications in the wild. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
