We present tools to support model-based security engineering on both the model and the code level. In the approach supported by these tools, one firstly specifies the securitycr...
Effective bug localization is important for realizing automated debugging. One attractive approach is to apply statistical techniques on a collection of evaluation profiles of pr...
Achieving high structural coverage such as branch coverage in objectoriented programs is an important and yet challenging goal due to two main challenges. First, some branches inv...
Software developers spend a significant portion of their resources handling user-submitted bug reports. For software that is widely deployed, the number of bug reports typically ...
Completing software maintenance and evolution tasks for today’s large, complex software systems can be difficult, often requiring considerable time to understand the system well...
Two or more components (e.g., objects, modules, or programs) interoperate when they exchange data, such as XML data. Using Application Programming Interface (API) calls exported b...
Flow composition languages permit the construction of longrunning transactions from collections of independent, atomic services. Due to environmental limitations, such transaction...
Programmers have long used assertions to characterize properties of code. An assertion violation signals a corruption in the program state. At such a state, it is standard to term...
