BlueOptima provides industry-leading objective metrics in software development using our proprietary Coding Effort Analytics. We enable large organisations to deliver better software, faster and at a lower cost. Founded in 2006, BlueOptima is a profitable, high-growth independent software company. Our unique technology was initially devised in seminal research carried out at Cambridge University.
Our HQ is in London, UK with 5 additional global offices in India, Mexico and the US.
BlueOptima’s technology is deployed by global enterprises to drive value from their software development activities. We work with 12 of the Fortune 50 Companies, 4 of the top 10 biggest banks by Market Capital and 6 of the S&P 50 Companies (by revenue).
Our technology is pushing the limits of complex analytics on large data-sets with more than 15 billion static source code metric observations of software engineers working in an Enterprise software development environment.
Project details:
Project Overview: A code when written by developers can be susceptible to security flaws which can prove to be severely costly for enterprises. These flaws are denoted as CWEs, a CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration) is a category system for software weaknesses and vulnerabilities.
Recognising, tagging and reproducing a CWE is a sensitive and significant task which has strong repercussions if missed or if tagged wrongly. We seek experts who understand CWEs by definitions and can adapt existing examples of vulnerable and non-vulnerable code to appear to be substantively different code while exhibiting the same basic logic. Our ultimate objective is to build a sufficiently large dataset of CWEs to train reliable and accurate Machine Learning models upon.
We will be providing you files with CWEs in them. You will be required to rearrange/edit the code or rewrite the code to retain the logic and the CWE signature. For example, if we give you a program to reverse two strings with a CWE in it, we expect you to edit the code in such a way that it:
Alters the control flow of the program
Retains the CWE occurrence
