Many security and software testing applications require checking whether certain properties
of a program hold for any possible usage scenario. For instance, a tool for identifying …

About a decade after the initial proposal to use model checkers for the generation of test
cases we take a look at the results in this field of research. Model checkers are formal …

This paper considers the problem of testing a container class or other modestly-complex API-
based software system. Past experimental evaluations have shown that for many such …

We present a technique that improves random test generation by incorporating feedback
obtained from executing test inputs as they are created. Our technique builds inputs …

Research on software testing produces many innovative automated techniques, but
because software testing is by necessity incomplete and approximate, any new technique …

We present results for the" Impact Project Focus Area" on the topic of symbolic execution as
used in software testing. Symbolic execution is a program analysis technique introduced in …

Detecting and characterizing the effects of software changes is a fundamental component of
software maintenance. Version differencing information can be used to perform version …

We describe an approach to testing complex safety critical software that combines unit-level
symbolic execution and system-level concrete execution for generating test cases that …

Symbolic PathFinder (SPF) is a software analysis tool that combines symbolic execution with
model checking for automated test case generation and error detection in Java bytecode …

We present JPF–SE, an extension to the Java PathFinder Model Checking framework (JPF)
that enables the symbolic execution of Java programs. JPF–SE uses JPF to generate and …
