This paper presents a framework aimed at significantly reducing the cost of proving
functional correctness for low-level operating systems components. The framework is …

Hardware enclaves rely on a disjoint memory model, which maps each physical address to
an enclave to achieve strong memory isolation. However, this severely limits the …

Property-based testing (PBT) is a powerful tool that is widely available in modern
programming languages. It has been used to reduce formal software verification effort. We …

We present Quickstrom, a property-based testing system for acceptance testing of interactive
applications. Using Quickstrom, programmers can specify the behaviour of web applications …

Good tools can bring mechanical verification to programs written in mainstream functional
languages. We use hs-to-coq to translate significant portions of Haskell's containers library …

Mutation analysis, which introduces artificial defects into software systems, is the basis of
mutation testing, a technique widely applied to evaluate and enhance the quality of test …

Formal verification can mathematically prove whether a software satisfies the requirements
described in its design. In traditional software development, even if the software systems …

Hardware platforms, such as microprocessors and Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs),
aim to provide strong memory isolation properties. However, in recent years, this has been …

This doctoral thesis presents three studies that concerns the meaning of computer programs
in three different aspects, namely, specifications and implementations, monolithic and …
