Determining whether a configurable software system has a performance bug or it was
misconfigured is often challenging. While there are numerous debugging techniques that …

This paper presents a technique to detect inadequate (ie, missing or ambiguous) diagnostic
messages for configuration errors issued by a configurable software system. The technique …

As a software system evolves, its performance can improve or degrade over time.
Performance evolution is especially delicate in configurable software systems, where …

The behavior of a software system often depends on how that system is configured. Small
configuration errors can lead to hard-to-diagnose undesired behaviors. We present a …

Modern computer systems are highly-configurable, complicating the testing and debugging
process. The sheer size of the configuration space makes the quality of software even …

Many industrial systems are highly-configurable, complicating the testing and debugging
process. While researchers have developed techniques to statically extract, quantify and …

Detecting and understanding reasons for defects and inadvertent behavior in software is
challenging due to their increasing complexity. In configurable software systems, the …

Highly configurable systems are complex pieces of software. To tackle this complexity,
hundreds of dedicated analysis techniques have been conceived, many of which able to …

Understanding the influence of configuration options on performance is key for finding
optimal system configurations, system understanding, and performance debugging. In prior …

In recent years, misconfigurations have become one of the major causes of software system
failures, resulting in numerous service outages. What is worse, misconfigurations are also …
