Compositional semantics allow to reason about programs in an incremental way, thus providing the formal base for the development of modular data-flow analyses. The major drawback ...
Abstract. We present automated techniques for the explanation of counterexamples, where a counter-example should be understood as a sequence of program statements. Our approach is ...
Dynamic test generation consists of executing a program while gathering symbolic constraints on inputs from predicates encountered in branch statements, and of using a constraint ...
