Abstract

CSTVA&#8242;12 &#8211; 4th International workshop on Constraints in Software Testing, Verification and Analysis&#046;<br>Recent years have seen an increasing interest in the application of constraint<br>solving techniques to the testing and analysis of software systems&#046; A significant<br>body of constraint&#8211;based techniques have been proposed and investigated in model&#8211;based<br>testing, code&#8211;based testing, property&#8211;oriented testing, statistical testing, etc&#046;<br>The central idea behind these techniques is designing or using existing constraint<br>solvers such as SMT solvers to deal with boolean, integer, real, floating&#8211;point data<br>types, enumerated types, control structures, complex data structures, method calls<br>and so on&#046; The constraint systems that result from these analyses usually share some<br>common features such as being heterogeneous and highly dynamic&#046; This also led to the<br>design of domain&#8211;specific heuristics able to exploit the structure of programs or<br>specification models&#046;<br>The workshop will focus on a broad range of topics in constrained&#8211;based testing,<br>verification and analysis including, but not limited to, the following:<br>* Constraint&#8211;based analysis of programs and models<br>* Constraint&#8211;based test input generation<br>* Constraint&#8211;based exploration of programs and models<br>* Heuristics guided by the structure of programs and models<br>* Constraint solvers over specific domains<br>* SMT solvers used in program testing<br>* Combination of dedicated constraint solvers<br>
