The effect of the number of inspectors on the defect estimates produced by capture-recapture models
Inspections can be made more cost-effective by using capturerecapture methods to estimate post-inspection defects. Previous capture-recapture studies of inspections used relativel...

Incremental state-space exploration for programs with dynamically allocated data
We present a novel technique that speeds up state-space exploration (SSE) for evolving programs with dynamically allocated data. SSE is the essence of explicit-state model checkin...
