Use case-based testing of product lines
This paper presents PLUTO, a simple and intuitive methodology to manage the testing process of product lines, described as Product Lines Use Cases (PLUCs). PLUCs are an extension ...

Refinements and multi-dimensional separation of concerns
1 Step-wise refinement (SWR) asserts that complex programs can be derived from simple programs by progressively adding features. The length of a program specification is the number...

Fluent model checking for event-based systems
Model checking is an automated technique for verifying that a system satisfies a set of required properties. Such properties are typically expressed as temporal logic formulas, in...

ARCHER: using symbolic, path-sensitive analysis to detect memory access errors
Memory corruption errors lead to non-deterministic, elusive crashes. This paper describes ARCHER (ARray CHeckER) a static, effective memory access checker. ARCHER uses path-sensit...
