The analysis of constraints plays an important role in many aspects of software engineering,
for example constraint satisfiability checking is central to symbolic execution. However, the …

Forward symbolic execution is a program analysis technique that allows using symbolic
inputs to explore program executions. The traditional applications of this technique have …

In this paper, we study the problem of automatically finding program executions that reach a
particular target line. This problem arises in many debugging scenarios; for example, a …

This paper introduces a novel approach to scale symbolic execution---a program analysis
technique for systematic exploration of bounded execution paths---for test input generation …

Symbolic execution is a powerful program analysis technique that systematically explores
multiple program paths. However, despite important technical advances, symbolic execution …

This paper introduces memoized symbolic execution (Memoise), a new approach for more
efficient application of forward symbolic execution, which is a well-studied technique for …

We introduce Banshee, a toolkit for constructing constraint-based analyses. Banshee's novel
features include a code generator for creating customized constraint resolution engines …

The last few years have seen a resurgence of interest in the use of symbolic execution—a
program analysis technique developed more than three decades ago to analyze program …

Symbolic execution systematically explores program paths by solving path conditions---
formulas over symbolic variables. Typically, the symbolic variables range over numbers …

Mr Spidey is a static debugger that augments the programmers ability to deal with such
complex systems. It statically analyzes the program and uses the results of the analysis to …
