Finding failure-inducing changes in java programs using change classification
Testing and code editing are interleaved activities during program development. When tests fail unexpectedly, the changes that caused the failure(s) are not always easy to find. W...

Testing context-aware middleware-centric programs: a data flow approach and an RFID-based experimentation
Pervasive context-aware software is an emerging kind of application. Smart personal digital assistants and RFID-based location sensing software are two examples. Many of these sys...

Failure proximity: a fault localization-based approach
Recent software systems usually feature an automated failure reporting system, with which a huge number of failing traces are collected every day. In order to prioritize fault dia...

How is aliasing used in systems software?
We present a study of all sources of aliasing in over one million lines of C code, identifying in the process the common patterns of aliasing that arise in practice. We find that ...

SYNERGY: a new algorithm for property checking
We consider the problem if a given program satisfies a specified safety property. Interesting programs have infinite state spaces, with inputs ranging over infinite domains, and f...

User guidance for creating precise and accessible property specifications
Property specifications concisely describe aspects of what a system is supposed to do. No matter what notation is used to describe them, however, it is difficult to represent thes...
