Improving Scalability of Symbolic Execution for Software with Complex Environment Interfaces

Stefan Bucur

Manual software testing is laborious and prone to human error. Yet, among practitioners, it is the most popular method for quality assurance. Automating the test case generation promises better effectiveness, especially for exposing corner-case bugs. Symbo ...

BOLTZWANN: A code for the evaluation of thermoelectric and electronic transport properties with a maximally-localized Wannier functions basis

Nicola Marzari, Giovanni Pizzi, Boris Kozinsky

We present a new code to evaluate thermoelectric and electronic transport properties of extended systems with a maximally-localized Wannier function basis set. The semiclassical Boltzmann transport equations for the homogeneous infinite system are solved i ...

-Overify: Optimizing Programs for Fast Verification

George Candea, Volodymyr Kuznetsov, Jonas Benedict Wagner

Developers rely on automated testing and verification tools to gain confidence in their software. The input to such tools is often generated by compilers that have been designed to generate code that runs fast, not code that can be verified easily and quic ...

Fast black-box testing of system recovery code

George Candea, Radu Banabic

Fault injection-a key technique for testing the robustness of software systems-ends up rarely being used in practice, because it is labor-intensive and one needs to choose between performing random injections (which leads to poor coverage and low represent ...

Deployment of job priority mechanisms in the Italian Cloud of the ATLAS experiment

Alessandro Barchiesi, Simone Campana

An optimized use of the Grid computing resources in the ATLAS experiment requires the enforcement of a mechanism of job priorities and of resource sharing among the different activities inside the ATLAS VO. This mechanism has been implemented through the V ...

Execution Synthesis: A Technique for Automated Software Debugging

George Candea, Cristian Zamfir

Debugging real systems is hard, requires deep knowledge of the code, and is time-consuming. Bug reports rarely provide sufficient information, thus forcing developers to turn into detectives searching for an explanation of how the program could have arrive ...

AntispamLab - A Tool for Realistic Evaluation of Email Spam Filters

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Slavisa Sarafijanovic, Raphaël Naefen, Luis Hernandez

The existing tools for testing spam filters evaluate a filter instance by simply feeding it with a stream of emails, possibly also providing a feedback to the filter about the correctness of the detection. In such a scenario the evaluated filter is disconn ...
