1. SYMBOLIC EXECUTION OF HIGH-LEVEL TRANSFORMATIONS BY AHMAD SALIM AL-SIBAHI, ALEKSANDAR S. DIMOVSKI & ANDRZEJ WĄSOWSKI 01/11/2016 1
2. 01/11/2016 2 LOOKING AT A BIG AUTOMATED REFACTORING PROJECT
3. 01/11/2016 3 Our Goal: Automated White-box Test Generation for High-Level Transformations <XSLT/>
4. 01/11/2016 4 EXAMPLE: THE RENAME-FIELD REFACTORING class Account { Id id; Money credit; membershipLevel() { return max(100, this.credit / 100); } eq(Account o) { return this.credit == o.credit && this.id == o.id; } } rename credit to balance in Account class Account { Id id; Money balance; membershipLevel() { return max(100, this.balance / 100); } eq(Account o) { return this.balance == o.balance && this.id == o.id; } }
5. 01/11/2016 5 RENAME-FIELD REFACTORING IN TRON # input class: Class, old_field: Field, new_field: Field # precondition old_field ∈ class.fields ∧ new_field ∉ class.fields # refactoring program class.fields := (class.fields \ old_field) ∪ new_field foreach faexpr ∈ class match⋆ FieldAccessExpr do if (faexpr.field = old_field ∧ faexpr.target.type = class) then faexpr.field := new_field else skip

7. 01/11/2016 7 SYMBOLIC EXECUTION – CONCRETE INPUT class Account { Id id; Money credit; membershipLevel() { return max(100, this.credit / 100); } eq(Account o) { return this.credit == o.credit && this.id == o.id; } }

18. 01/11/2016 18 TEST GENERATION • There is in practice an infinite amount of symbolic paths a program can have, so we bound exploration • We must additionally keep track of initial shape of structure for test generation of input • A model finder converts the symbolic paths into concretely executable test cases
19. 01/11/2016 19 Set Expressions Type-direct matching Abstraction over Element Types and Cardinality Encoding operations in solver using native theory of sets Strong Field Updates Lazy init. separating reasoning about shapes from aliasing First-class handling of containment links Lazy iteration over symbolic sets Deep containment constraints IMPORTANT OPTIMIZATIONS THAT MAKE OUR TECHNIQUE WORK IN PRACTICE

24. 01/11/2016 24 • Symbolic execution is effective for test generation • Easy to extend to support more complex properties • Possible to use for verification • Currently allows k-bounded reachability property checking • Over-approximation of loops would further allow checking universal properties EFFECTIVENESS AND EXTENSIBILITY
