Software testing is sometimes plagued with intermittently failing tests and finding the root
causes of such failing tests is often difficult. This problem has been widely studied at the unit …

Future embedded systems are going to be more sensitive to hardware faults. In particular,
intermittent faults are going to appear faster in future technologies. Understanding the …

Embedded systems are ubiquitous and play critical roles in management systems for
industry and transport. Software failures in these domains may lead to loss of production or …

Today's software-intensive systems contain an important class of software, namely event-
driven software (EDS). All EDS take events as input, change their state, and (perhaps) …

Aging aircraft electronic boxes often pose a maintenance challenge in that often after
malfunctioning during flight in the aircraft, they test good, or ldquoNo Fault Foundrdquo …

Debugging is an indispensable yet frustrating activity in software development and
maintenance. Thus, numerous techniques have been proposed to aid this task. Despite the …

Testing is often performed frequently during development to ensure software reliability by
catching regression errors quickly. However, stopping frequently to test also wastes time by …

Today's nanometer technology trends have a very negative impact on the reliability of
semiconductor products. Intermittent faults constitute the largest part of reliability failures that …

There are many difficulties associated with developing correct multithreaded software, and
many of the activities that are simple for single threaded software are exceptionally hard for …

Exhaustive testing of computer software is intractable, but empirical studies of software
failures suggest that testing can in some cases be effectively exhaustive. We show that …
