Modern software-intensive systems often interact with an environment whose behavior
changes over time, often unpredictably. The occurrence of changes may jeopardize their …

Quantitative verification techniques provide an effective means of computing performance
and reliability properties for a wide range of systems. However, the computation required …

During its evolution, a typical software/hardware design undergoes a myriad of small
changes. However, it is extremely costly to verify each new version from scratch. As a …

We present a novel technique that speeds up state-space exploration (SSE) for evolving
programs with dynamically allocated data. SSE is the essence of explicit-state model …

Develo** provably correct programs is an incremental process that often involves a series
of interactions with a program verifier. To increase the responsiveness of the program …

As software development teams adopt DevSecOps practices, application security is
increasingly the responsibility of development teams, who are required to set up their own …

Static analyses are used to gain more confidence in changes made by developers. To be of
most use, such analyses must deliver feedback fast. Therefore, incremental static analyses …

Compositional dynamic test generation can achieve significant scalability by memoizing
symbolic execution sub-paths as test summaries. In this paper, we formulate the problem of …

We present a novel approach for automated incremental verification that employs both
reusable and relational specifications of software to incrementally verify pairs of programs …

Software is not created at once. Rather, it grows incrementally version by version and
evolves long after being first released. To be practical for software developers, the software …
