ABSTRACT
Secure software development tools can help improve the security of software, but many software developers do not use such tools. The poster discusses our findings about why software developers do and do not use security tools, based on 43 interviews with software developers. The results suggest that a variety of factors, encompassing both technical and social aspects, influence developers' decisions.
