LitterBox is a static code analysis tool for detecting bugs in Scratch projects.
Bugs in Scratch programs can spoil the fun and inhibit learning success. Many common bugs are the result of recurring patterns of bad code. LitterBox provides checks for a collection of common bug patterns. Given a Scratch project ID or a file, LitterBox retrieves and parses the source code of the project, and reports all instances of bug patterns identified. LitterBox can also check for code smells and provide metrics about selected Scratch projects.
LitterBox is developed at the Chair of Software Engineering II and the Computer Science Education of the University of Passau.
