Flutter flight test involves the evaluation of the airframes aeroelastic stability by applying artificial excitation on the aircraft lifting surfaces. The subsequent responses are captured and analyzed to extract the frequencies and damping…

Context: Static analyses are well-established to aid in understanding bugs or vulnerabilities during the development process or in large-scale studies. A low false-positive rate is essential for the adaption in practice and for precise…

Pointers are a powerful, but dangerous feature provided by the C and C++ programming languages, and incorrect use of pointers is a common source of bugs and security vulnerabilities. Making secure software is crucial, as vulnerabilities…

Safety-critical designs need to ensure reliable operations under hostile conditions with a certain degree of confidence. The continuously higher complexity of these designs makes them more susceptible to the risk of failure. ISO26262…

Software vulnerabilities are constantly being reported and exploited in software products, causing significant impacts on society. In recent years, the main approach to vulnerability detection, fuzzing, has been integrated into the…

Nowadays, several software systems rely on stream processing architectures to deliver scalable performance and handle large volumes of data in near real-time. Stream processing frameworks facilitate scalable computing by distributing the…

Ensuring consistent product quality in modern manufacturing is crucial, particularly in safety-critical applications. Conventional quality control approaches, reliant on manually defined thresholds and features, lack adaptability to the…

Context: Test smells are symptoms of sub-optimal design choices adopted when developing test cases. Previous studies have proved their harmfulness for test code maintainability and effectiveness. Therefore, researchers have been proposing…

It is commonly agreed that highly parallel software on Exascale computers will suffer from many more runtime failures due to the decreasing trend in the mean time to failures (MTTF). Therefore, it is not surprising that a lot of research is…

Software bugs in cloud management systems often cause erratic behavior, hindering detection, and recovery of failures. As a consequence, the failures are not timely detected and notified, and can silently propagate through the system. To…

Test smells are known as bad development practices that reflect poor design and implementation choices in software tests. Over the last decade, test smells were heavily studied to measure their prevalence and impacts on test…

Fault injections are increasingly used to attack/test secure applications. In this paper, we define formal models of runtime monitors that can detect fault injections that result in test inversion attacks and arbitrary jumps in the control…

Scientific applications have long embraced the MPI as the environment of choice to execute on large distributed systems. The User-Level Failure Mitigation (ULFM) specification extends the MPI standard to address resilience and enable MPI…

We present FRAPpuccino (or FRAP), a provenance-based fault detection mechanism for Platform as a Service (PaaS) users, who run many instances of an application on a large cluster of machines. FRAP models, records, and analyzes the behavior…

Diagnosability is a system theoretical property characterizing whether fault occurrences in a system can always be detected within a finite time. In this paper, we investigate the verification of diagnosability for cyber-physical systems…

Saliency methods are widely used to visualize which input features are deemed relevant to a model's prediction. However, their visual plausibility can obscure critical limitations. In this work, we propose a diagnostic test for class…

Robot behavior policies trained via imitation learning are prone to failure under conditions that deviate from their training data. Thus, algorithms that monitor learned policies at test time and provide early warnings of failure are…

MPI has been ubiquitously deployed in flagship HPC systems aiming to accelerate distributed scientific applications running on tens of hundreds of processes and compute nodes. Maintaining the correctness and integrity of MPI application…

Features in product lines and highly configurable systems can interact in ways that are contrary to developers' intent. Current methods to identify such unanticipated feature interactions are costly and inadequate. To address this problem…

Dataflow coverage, one of the white-box testing criteria, focuses on the relations between variable definitions and their uses.Several empirical studies have proved data-flow testing is more effective than control-flow testing. However,…
