Debugging by lastChange

Claude Petitpierre, Salman Mirghasemi

Developers often seek the origins of wrong values they see in their debugger. Their search must be backwards in time: the code causing the wrong value executed before the wrong value appeared. Searching with breakpoint- or log- based debuggers demands pers ...

Querypoint : Moving Backwards on Wrong Values in the Buggy Execution

Claude Petitpierre, Salman Mirghasemi

As developers debug, they often have to seek the origins of wrong values they see in their debugger. This search must be performed backwards in time since the code causing the wrong value is executed before the wrong value appears. Therefore, locating the ...

Online Testing of Federated and Heterogeneous Distributed Systems

Dejan Novakovic, Dejan Kostic, Marco Canini, Vojin Jovanovic

DiCE is a system for online testing of federated and heterogeneous distributed systems. We have built a prototype of DiCE and integrated it with a BGP router. DiCE quickly detects three important classes of faults, resulting from configuration mistakes, po ...

Model Checking Tools for Software System Implementations

Maysam Yabandeh

Systematic State Exploration or Model Checking techniques have been used for years to check the model of softwares against user-specified properties. Nevertheless, they never achieved a wide-spread usage because of the difficulties and problems in translat ...

Automated Software Testing as a Service (TaaS)

George Candea, Cristian Zamfir, Stefan Bucur

This paper makes the case for TaaS - automated software testing as a cloud-based service. We present three kinds of TaaS: (1) a public certification service, akin to Underwriters Labs, that independently assesses the reliability, safety, and security of so ...

Static Analysis of x86 Executables

Johannes Kinder

This dissertation is concerned with static analysis of binary executables in a theoretically well-founded, sound, yet practical way. The major challenge is the reconstruction of a correct control flow graph in presence of indirect jumps, pointer arithmetic ...

Runtime Instrumentation for Precise Flow-Sensitive Type Analysis

Viktor Kuncak, Etienne Kneuss, Philippe Paul Henri Suter

We describe a combination of runtime information and static analysis for checking properties of complex and configurable systems. The basic idea of our approach is to 1) let the program execute and thereby read the important dynamic configuration data, the ...

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 ...

Efficient System-Enforced Deterministic Parallelism

Bryan Alexander Ford

Deterministic execution offers many benefits for debugging, fault tolerance, and security. Current methods of executing parallel programs deterministically, however, often incur high costs, allow misbehaved software to defeat repeatability, and transform t ...
