  • What's in your AI code? Learn why every SCA tool is wrong, and how to deal with it
    By: Anand Sawant
    Experience Level: Intermediate
    Length: 25 Minutes
    Description:

We show how leveraging program analysis techniques one can avoid the pitfalls of these so-called phantom dependencies.
