An effective dynamic analysis for detecting generalized deadlocks
We present an effective dynamic analysis for finding a broad class of deadlocks, including the well-studied lock-only deadlocks as well as the less-studied, but no less widespread...

Software partitioning for effective automated unit testing
A key problem for effective unit testing is the difficulty of partitioning large software systems into appropriate units that can be tested in isolation. We present an approach th...

An empirical framework for comparing effectiveness of testing and property-based formal analysis
Today, many formal analysis tools are not only used to provide certainty but are also used to debug software systems – a role that has traditional been reserved for testing tool...

A New Software Testing Approach Based on Domain Analysis of Specifications and Programs
Partition testing is a well-known software testing technique. This paper shows that partition testing strategies are relatively ineffective in detecting faults related to small sh...

Sufficient mutation operators for measuring test effectiveness
Mutants are automatically-generated, possibly faulty variants of programs. The mutation adequacy ratio of a test suite is the ratio of non-equivalent mutants it is able to identif...
