Debugging refers to the laborious process of finding causes of program failures. Often, such failures are introduced when a program undergoes changes and evolves from a stable ver...
The standard language for describing the asymptotic behavior of algorithms is theoretical computational complexity. We propose a method for describing the asymptotic behavior of p...

Program verification is a promising approach to improving program quality, because it can search all possible program executions for specific errors. However, the need to formally...

Many analysis techniques have been proposed to determine when a potentially null value may be dereferenced. But we have observed in practice that not every potential null derefere...
As developers modify software entities such as functions or variables to introduce new features, enhance old ones, or fix bugs, they must ensure that other entities in the software...
