Program analysis empowers a variety of tasks, including efficient debugging and defect detection, code comprehension, and security analysis. In this talk, I will discuss the missing steps for making the analysis results fit for practical use, providing three examples from our recent work in the areas of software quality and security. Specifically, I will discuss work on helping developers debug regression failures in large complex systems and work on helping an expert security analyst identify malicious software behaviours. With these examples, I intend to show how making the analysis results appealing to human experts opens up new, previously unexplored research directions. Finally, I will touch on future work on explainability and understanding, which will become ever more important as technology becomes more powerful.
