AVA: automated interpretation of dynamically detected anomalies
Dynamic analysis techniques have been extensively adopted to discover causes of observed failures. In particular, anomaly detection techniques can infer behavioral models from obs...

Advanced code coverage analysis using substring holes
Code coverage is a common aid in the testing process. It is generally used for marking the source code segments that were executed and, more importantly, those that were not execu...

Specifying the worst case: orthogonal modeling of hardware errors
During testing, the execution of valid cases is only one part of the task. Checking the behavior in boundary situations and in the presence of errors is an equally important subje...

Identifying bug signatures using discriminative graph mining
Bug localization has attracted a lot of attention recently. Most existing methods focus on pinpointing a single statement or function call which is very likely to contain bugs. Al...

SideTrack: generalizing dynamic atomicity analysis
Atomicity is a key correctness specification for multithreaded programs. Prior dynamic atomicity analyses include precise tools, which report an error if and only if the observed...

HAMPI: a solver for string constraints
Many automatic testing, analysis, and verification techniques for programs can be effectively reduced to a constraint-generation phase followed by a constraint-solving phase. Th...
