Finding Concurrency-Related Bugs Using Random Isolation
This paper describes the methods used in Empire, a tool to detect concurrency-related bugs, namely atomic-set serializability violations in Java programs. The correctness criterion...

HOLMES: Effective statistical debugging via efficient path profiling
Statistical debugging aims to automate the process of isolating bugs by profiling several runs of the program and using statistical analysis to pinpoint the likely causes of failu...

Finding and understanding bugs in C compilers
Compilers should be correct. To improve the quality of C compilers, we created Csmith, a randomized test-case generation tool, and spent three years using it to find compiler bug...

Instrumentation and sampling strategies for cooperative concurrency bug isolation
Fixing concurrency bugs (or crugs) is critical in modern software systems. Static analyses to find crugs such as data races and atomicity violations scale poorly, while dynamic a...

Scalable statistical bug isolation
We present a statistical debugging algorithm that isolates bugs in programs containing multiple undiagnosed bugs. Earlier statistical algorithms that focus solely on identifying p...
