A variety of compilers, static analyses, and testing frameworks rely heavily on path frequency information. Uses for such information range from optimizing transformations to bug ...
In sampling based hotspot detection, performance engineers sample the running program periodically and record the Instruction Pointer (IP) addresses at the sampling. Empirically, f...
An optimization can be specified as sequential compositions of predefined transformation primitives. For each primitive, we can define soundness conditions which guarantee that th...
From the early days of object-oriented programming, the model-view-controller paradigm has been pursued for a clear design which separates different responsibilities within an in...
Automated analyses for regression test selection (RTS) attempt to determine if a modified program, when run on a test t, will have the same behavior as an old version of the prog...
