Dynamic instrumentation systems have proven to be extremely valuable for program introspection, architectural simulation, and bug detection. Yet a major drawback of modern instrum...
—A known problem of traditional coverage metrics is that they do not assess oracle quality—that is, whether the computation result is actually checked against expectations. In ...
One of the issues in software evolution is debugging. Debugging large and complex software systems evolved requires a lot of effort since it is very difficult to localize and ide...
Software debugging is the process of locating and correcting faulty code. Prior techniques to locate faulty code either use program analysis techniques such as backward dynamic pr...
Layered architecture in operating system code is often compromised by execution path-specific customizations such as prefetching, page replacement and scheduling strategies. Paths...
