Sophisticated Testing of Concurrent Programs

Abstract

Search-based techniques were successfully applied to many different areas of testing but according to our knowledge there are no works that applies search-based techniques to testing of concurrent software, yet. This PhD paper describes plans and already achieved preliminary results with applying search-based techniques to testing of concurrent software. In particular, we plan to combine noise injection techniques for testing of concurrent software, various concurrency coverage measures, and several dynamic analyses with search-based optimization techniques.
