    摘要: Separation of parameterized unit tests (PUTs) from specific test cases supports many benefits including automated test case generation. Symbolic execution assigns symbolic input variables to parameters of a parameterized unit test. Path constraints of an implementation under test (IUT) are identified during symbolic execution. A constraint solver automatically generates test cases by determining the test inputs that satisfy one of more paths, each described by constraints, through the IUT. PUTs are used to populate behavioral summaries. Behavioral summaries are used later in future symbolic executions to emulate summarized methods. Behavioral summaries comprise behavioral purity axioms. Behavioral purity axioms require that an intensional heap before execution of a PUT be equal to the intensional heap after execution. An intensional heap is provided to represent state changes performed by summarized methods. The extensional heap is used to explicitly update memory locations, e.g. object fields or array elements.

    摘要: A state component saves a present state of a program or model. This state component can be invoked by the program or model itself, thereby making state a first-class citizen. As the state of the program evolves from the saved state, the saved state remains for reflection and recall, for example, for testing, verification, transaction processing, etc. Using a state reference token, the saved state of the program or model can be accessed by the program or model. For example, the program or model by utilizing a state component, can return itself to the saved state. After returning to the saved state, a second execution path can be introduced without requiring re-execution of the actions leading to the saved state. In another example, the state space of an executing model is saved in order to generate inputs required to exercise a program or model.

    摘要: A system for testing programs using a digital processor and programs in computer memory. A mock behavior generator identifies an interface indicated for mock behavior. The interface is identified as an input parameter of a parameterized unit test. The mock behavior generator creates a symbolic object with stubs to receive calls and mock behavior that returns symbolic values upon receiving a call to the stub. A symbolic executor, symbolically executes the parameterized unit test to obtain path constraints for an implementation under test, and at least one path constraint includes the symbol returned in response to the call to the stub. A constraint solver provides solutions for the paths including concrete values assigned to returned symbols. The mock behavior generator creates mock objects that return the concrete values when the implementation under test is executed.

    摘要: A finite domain approximation for symbolic terms of a symbolic state is derived, given some finite domains for basic terms of the symbolic state. A method is executed recursively for symbolic sub-terms of a symbolic term, providing a domain over-approximation that can then be provided to a solver for determining a more accurate domain. The method can be applied to a wide array of system terms, including, for example, object states, arrays, and runtime types.

    摘要: Techniques and tools for testing multi-threaded or distributed software systems are described. For example, a multi-threaded system is instrumented and executed to produce logs of events that are performed by each of its agents. The agent logs contain a totally ordered series of events per agent, as well as information about accesses to resources shared between the agents. With this information, a partial ordering of the events performed by all the agents is described for the execution. The agent logs are then multiplexed into one or more serialized event orderings, which can then be compared to a specification of the system in a conformance testing engine.

    摘要: A tracing just-in-time (TJIT) compiler system is described for performing parallelization of code in a runtime phase in the execution of code. Upon detecting a hot loop during the execution of the code, the compiler system extracts trace information from sequentially recorded traces. In a first phase, the compiler system uses the trace information to identify at least one group of operation components that can be operated on in a parallel manner. In a second phase, the compiler system provides instructions which allocate the group of operation components to plural processing resources. A native code generator module carries out those instructions by recompiling native code that directs the operation of a native system to perform parallel processing. The compiler system terminates a group if it encounters program data in a loop iteration that is not consistent with previously encountered predicated information (upon which it records a new trace in a sequential manner).

    摘要: A model composition environment can allow for description of fill or partial symbolic system behavior, as well as the combination of models of specific features into compound models. Compositional operators can include intersection, concatenation, substitution, alternating refinement, as well as a set of regular expression-like operators. Models called “action machines” can represent object-oriented, reactive programs, and an action machine may be composed with another action machine using a compositional operator. This can allow for testing of particular scenarios or behaviors.

    摘要: Constraints are defined in view of a program implementation. Constraints check program state or variables to maintain data consistency. A constraint component determines a constraint's scope and variables upon which a constraint depends. Program flow is altered so constraints are checked whenever a variable upon which a constraint depends is updated. Optionally, program flow is altered dynamically to re-establish constraints whenever a variable upon which a constraint depends is updated. Re-establishing constraints provides efficiency, since a program flow is altered for a minimum cost based on a present evolving minimum set of active constraint-variable relationships.
