Mental models and parallel program maintenance
Parallel programs are difficult to write, test, and debug. This thesis explores how programmers build mental models about parallel programs, and demonstrates, through user evaluat...

An observability-based code coverage metric for functional simulation
Functional simulation is the most widely used method for design verification. At various levels of abstraction, e.g., behavioral, register-transfer level and gate level, the design...

Dynamic heap type inference for program understanding and debugging
C programs can be difficult to debug due to lax type enforcement and low-level access to memory. We present a dynamic analysis for C that checks heap snapshots for consistency wit...

An Integrated Approach to High Integrity Software Verification
Using automated reasoning techniques, we tackle the niche activity of proving that a program is free from run-time exceptions. Such a property is particularly valuable in high inte...

Benefits of software measures for evolutionary white-box testing
White-box testing is an important method for the early detection of errors during software development. In this process test case generation plays a crucial role, defining appropr...
