Artifact of Bounded Exhaustive Search of Alloy Specification Repairs

BeAFix is a tool and technique for automated repair of faulty models written in Alloy, a declarative formal specification language based on first-order relational logic. BeAFix takes a faulty Alloy model, i.e., an Alloy model with at least one analysis command whose result is contrary to the developer's expectation, and a set of suspicious specification locations, and explores the space of fix candidates consisting of all alternative expressions for the indicated locations, that can be constructed by bounded application of a family of mutation operations. BeAFix can work with any kind of specification oracle, from Alloy test cases to standard predicates and assertions typically found in Alloy specifications, and is backed with a number of sound pruning strategies, for efficient exploration of fix candidate search spaces.
