ConSeq: detecting concurrency bugs through sequential errors
Concurrency bugs are caused by non-deterministic interleavings between shared memory accesses. Their effects propagate through data and control dependences until they cause softwa...

Improving distributed memory applications testing by message perturbation
We present initial work on perturbation techniques that cause the manifestation of timing-related bugs in distributed memory Message Passing Interface (MPI)-based applications. Th...
