Abstract

The goal of the project is to conduct a joint research with the Israeli partner that will significantly improve the efficiency, generality, and degree of automation of testing and analysis of multi-threaded programs. Improved efficiency should be achieved by developing new heuristics for injection of noise into thread scheduling which will increase the probability of discovering synchronization-related errors when testing concurrent programs. Increased generality should be achieved by developing new dynamic error detection algorithms, targeting even new and/or so far less studied synchronization mechanisms as well as currently less supported classes of programs (e.g., noise-based dynamic analysis of concurrent binary code). Higher automation should be achieved by employing advanced optimization algorithms (meta-heuristics) and data mining on test data for an automated optimization of the process of testing of concurrent code wrt. various criteria without a need of a manual intervention of testers.
