The difficulty of finding errors caused by unexpected interleavings of threads in concurrent programs is well known. Model checkers can pinpoint such errors and verify correctness...
A Random test generator generates executable tests together with their expected results. In the form of a noise-maker, it seeds the program with conditional scheduling primitives ...
Atomicity is an important specification that enables programmers to understand atomic blocks of code in a multi-threaded program as if they are sequential. This significantly simp...
Concurrent programs are difficult to debug and verify because of the nondeterministic nature of concurrent executions. A particular concurrency-related bug may only show up under ...
Concurrent software is difficult to verify. Because the thread schedule is not controlled by the application, testing may miss defects that occur under specific thread schedules. T...
