We present a novel dynamic analysis technique that finds real deadlocks in multi-threaded programs. Our technique runs in two stages. In the first stage, we use an imprecise dyn...

Active testing has recently been introduced to effectively test concurrent programs. Active testing works in two phases. It first uses predictive off-the-shelf static or dynamic pr...

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...

In program debugging, reproducibility of bugs is a key requirement. Unfortunately, bugs in concurrent programs are notoriously difficult to reproduce because bugs due to concurre...
This paper presents a randomized scheduler for finding concurrency bugs. Like current stress-testing methods, it repeatedly runs a given test program with supplied inputs. Howeve...
