We describe a benchmark of publicly-available multi-threaded programs with documented bugs in them. This project was initiated a few years ago with the goal of helping research groups in the fields of concurrent testing and debugging to develop tools and algorithms that improve the quality of concurrent programs. We present a survey of usage of the benchmark, concluding that the benchmark had an impact...
Software specification is an important element of the software development process. However, in most cases the specifications are out-of-date or even missing. One solution for this kind of problem is to use some process that infers the specification automatically. Work by Ernst et al (2000 ; 2002) has shown how specifications can be generated using program execution traces. These approaches are dependent...
A model management workflow typically consists of a number of interdependent model-management tasks such as model validation, transformation, merging, comparison and text generation. As such workflows are becoming more and more complex, errors in individual tasks are likely to be propagated to subsequent tasks and eventually compromise the operation of the entire workflow. Therefore, building confidence...
Software testing plays an important role in the life cycle of software development. Because software testing is very costly and tedious, many techniques have been proposed to automate it. One technique that has achieved good results is the use of search algorithms. Because most previous work on search algorithms has been of an empirical nature, there is a need for theoretical results that confirm...
