Lightweight object specification with typestates
Previous work has proven typestates to be useful for modeling protocols in object-oriented languages. We build on this work by addressing substitutability of subtypes as well as i...

Context- and path-sensitive memory leak detection
We present a context- and path-sensitive algorithm for detecting memory leaks in programs with explicit memory management. Our leak detection algorithm is based on an underlying e...

Using software testing to move students from trial-and-error to reflection-in-action
Introductory computer science students rely on a trial and error approach to fixing errors and debugging for too long. Moving to a reflection in action strategy can help students ...
