Software systems fail. These failures are often reported to issue tracking systems, where
they are prioritized and assigned to responsible developers to be investigated. When …

Logs in bug reports provide important debugging information for developers. During the
debugging process, developers need to study the bug report and examine user-provided …

Crash reproduction approaches help developers during debugging by generating a test
case that reproduces a given crash. Several solutions have been proposed to automate this …

Search‐based crash reproduction approaches assist developers during debugging by
generating a test case, which reproduces a crash given its stack trace. One of the …

This paper reports the results of the deployment of Rich-State Simulated Populations at Meta
for both automated and manual testing. We use simulated users (aka test users) to mimic …

Concurrency bugs in the Linux kernel are notoriously difficult to reproduce and debug due to
their non-deterministic nature. While they bring constant headaches to Linux kernel …

EvoCrash is a recent search-based approach to generate a test case that reproduces
reported crashes. The search is guided by a fitness function that uses a weighted sum …

Writing a test case reproducing a reported software crash is a common practice to identify
the root cause of an anomaly in the software under test. However, this task is usually labor …

Developing correct and efficient concurrent programs is difficult and error-prone, due to the
complexity of thread synchronization. Often, developers alleviate such problem by relying on …

A growing number of bugs have been reported by vulnerability discovery solutions. Among
them, some bugs are hard to diagnose or reproduce, including data race bugs caused by …
