Interactive applications, such as mobile or web apps, have become essential in our lives and verifying their correctness is now a key issue. Automatic system test case generation can dramatically improve the testing process for these applications and has recently motivated researchers to work on this problem defining a wide range of different approaches. However, most state-of-the-art...

Exposing concurrency failures : a comprehensive survey of the state of the art and a novel approach to reproduce field failures

Bianchi, Francesco Adalberto ; Pezzè, Mauro (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2018 ; 2018INFO015.

With the rapid advance of multi-core and distributed architectures, concurrent systems are becoming more and more popular. Concurrent systems are extremely hard to develop and validate, as their overall behavior depends on the non-deterministic interleaving of the execution flows that comprise the system. Wrong and unexpected interleavings may lead to concurrency faults that are extremely...
