DART: directed automated random testing
TLDR
We present a new tool, named DART, for automatically testing software that combines three main techniques: (1) automated extraction of the interface of a program with its external environment using static source-code parsing; (2) automatic generation of a test driver for this interface that performs random testing to simulate the most general environment the program can operate in; and (3) dynamic analysis of how the program behaves under random testing and new test inputs to direct systematically the execution along alternative program paths.

Dynamic partial-order reduction for model checking software
TLDR
We present a new approach to partial-order reduction for model checking software that uses dynamic interleaving to identify backtracking points where alternative paths in the state space need to be explored. Expand

Model checking for programming languages using VeriSoft
TLDR
We show how model checking can be extended to deal directly with "actual" descriptions of concurrent systems, e.g., implementations of communication protocols written in programming languages. Expand

Compositional dynamic test generation
TLDR
We introduce a new algorithm, dubbed SMART for Systematic Modular Automated Random Testing, that extends DART by testing functions in isolation, encoding test results as function summaries expressed using input preconditions and output postconditions, and then re-using those summaries when testing higher-level functions.

Generalized Model Checking: Reasoning about Partial State Spaces
TLDR
We discuss the problem of model checking temporal properties on partial Kripke structures, which were used in [BG99] to represent incomplete state spaces. Expand

Learn&Fuzz: Machine learning for input fuzzing
TLDR
Fuzzing consists of repeatedly testing an application with modified, or fuzzed, inputs with the goal of finding security vulnerabilities in input-parsing code. Expand
