Latency Interfaces for Systems Code

Rishabh Ramesh Iyer

This thesis demonstrates that it is feasible for systems code to expose a latency interface that describes its latency and related side effects for all inputs, just like the code's semantic interface describes its functionality and related side effects. S ...

Performance Interfaces for Network Functions

George Candea, Rishabh Ramesh Iyer, Aikaterini Argyraki

Modern programmers routinely use third-party code, and infrastructure operators deploy software they did not write. This would not be possible without semantic interfaces---documentation, header files, specifications---that succinctly describe what that th ...

One Fuzz Doesn’t Fit All: Optimizing Directed Fuzzing via Target-tailored Program State Restriction

Mathias Josef Payer

Fuzzing is the de-facto default technique to discover software flaws, randomly testing programs to discover crashing test cases. Yet, a particular scenario may only care about specific code regions (for, e.g., bug reproduction, patch or regression testing) ...

Improving systems software security through program analysis and instrumentation

Volodymyr Kuznetsov

Security and reliability bugs are prevalent in systems software. Systems code is often written in low-level languages like C/C++, which offer many benefits but also delegate memory management and type safety to programmers. This invites bugs that cause cra ...

Techniques for Detection, Root Cause Diagnosis, and Classification of In-Production Concurrency Bugs

Baris Can Cengiz Kasikci

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 ...

Automatic generation of program execution that reaches a given failure point

George Candea, Cristian Zamfir

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 ...

Automated Debugging for Arbitrarily Long Executions

George Candea, Edouard Bugnion, Johannes Kinder, Cristian Zamfir, Baris Can Cengiz Kasikci

One of the most energy-draining and frustrating parts of software development is playing detective with elusive bugs. In this paper we argue that automated post-mortem debugging of failures is feasible for real, in-production systems with no runtime record ...

Mitigating Anonymity Challenges in Automated Testing and Debugging Systems

George Candea, Silviu Andrica

Modern software often provides automated testing and bug reporting facilities that enable developers to improve the software after release. Alas, this comes at the cost of user anonymity: reported execution traces may identify users. We present a way to mi ...

An Integrated Framework for Improving the Quality and Reliability of Software Upgrades

Olivier Crameri

Despite major advances in the engineering of maintainable and robust software over the years, upgrading software remains a primitive and error-prone activity. In this dissertation, we argue that several problems with upgrading software are caused by a poor ...

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 ...
