Concurrency bugs are at the heart of some of the worst bugs that
plague software. Concurrency bugs slow down software development
because it can take weeks or even months before developers
can identify and fix them.
In-production detection, root cause ...
Programming by Examples (PBE) has the potential to revolutionize end-user programming by enabling end users, most of whom are non-programmers, to create small scripts for automating repetitive tasks. However, examples, though often easy to provide, are an ...
Coverage criteria aim at satisfying test requirements and compute metrics values that quantify the adequacy of test suites at revealing defects in programs. Typically, a test requirement is a structural program element, and the coverage metric value repres ...
Previous test data on unreinforced masonry walls focused on the global response of the wall. A new data set (Petry and Beyer 2014a; D01:10.5281/zenodo.8443) on six wall tests, which is publicly available, allows for linking global to local deformations of ...
Safety-critical software systems can only support a limited number of failures. Extensive testing is good at catching errors, however that will never certify their absence. Formal verification is an alternative to testing that can (automatically) provide a ...
Debugging real systems is hard, requires deep knowledge of the target code, and is time-consuming. Bug reports rarely provide sufficient information for debugging, thus forcing developers to turn into detectives searching for an explanation of how the prog ...
An execution of a target software program that causes a particular bug to manifest itself is generated. A target software program is received. A bug report generated by an execution of the target software program is received. The bug report describes a par ...
Testing of critical PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) programs remains a challenging task for control system engineers as it can rarely be automated. This paper proposes a model-based approach which uses the BIP (Behavior, Interactions and Priorities) fr ...
Symbolic execution has proven to be a practical technique for building automated test case generation and bug finding tools. Nevertheless, due to state explosion, these tools still struggle to achieve scalability. Given a program, one way to reduce the num ...
