Selected Topics in Automated Testing and Debugging

Dear Students,

As we mentioned during the previous meeting, the next seminar will be on "Mining Dynamic Invariants". The following publication and fuzzing book chapter provide the basic background.

* Dynamically discovering likely program invariants to support program evolution
  Ernst, Cockrell, Griswold, Notkin
  https://homes.cs.washington.edu/~mernst/pubs/invariants-tse2001.pdf
 
* Mining Function Specifications
  https://www.fuzzingbook.org/html/DynamicInvariants.html

We expect a short abstract, no more than one page, capturing the essential ideas. As before you can use the following latex snippet to determine what fits in a single page and what doesn't.

```
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\title{My Title}
\begin{document}
\section{Abstract}
\blindtext
\blindtext

\blindtext
\blindtext
\end{document}
```

Please upload your summary as a PDF to the CMS submission slot (you can use the above latex code to generate the PDF). The submission slot for dynamic invaraint abstracts is here: https://cms.cispa.saarland/testdebug/submissions/view/4

Please submit your abstracts before the class.

Regards,

Rahul
