Automated Testing and Debugging of SAT and QBF Solvers

Robustness and correctness are essential criteria for SAT and QBF solvers. We develop automated testing and debugging techniques designed and optimized for SAT and QBF solver development. Our fuzz testing techniques are able to find critical solver defects that lead to crashes, invalid satisfying assignments and incorrect satisfiability results. Moreover, we show that sequential and concurrent delta debugging techniques are highly effective in minimizing failure-inducing inputs.
