The declarative modeling language Alloy and its automatic analyzer provide an effective tool-set for building designs of systems and checking their properties. The Alloy Analyzer p...
Most legacy systems have been altered due to prolonged maintenance to the point that they deviate significantly from their original and intended design and consequently, they lack...
Model-based program debugging exploits discrepancies between the program behavior anticipated by a programmer and the program’s actual behavior when executed on a set of inputs....
A common static software bug detection technique is to use path simulation. Each execution path is simulated using symbolic variables to determine if any software errors could occ...
