Testing Static Analyzers with Randomly Generated Programs

Static analyzers should be correct. We used the random Cprogram generator Csmith, initially intended to test C compilers, to test parts of the Frama-C static analysis platform. Although Frama-C was already relatively mature at that point, fifty bugs were found and fixed during the process, in the front-end (AST elaboration and typechecking) and in the value analysis, constant propagation and sl...

Equipment Specifications and Methods for Dynamic Testing

Both the new ASAE S518 standard (2) and the revised draft international standard DIS/ISO 5707 (3) incorporate performance standards for vacuum stability in milking systems. New NMC procedures for system evaluation include dynamic tests for vacuum stability to demonstrate the adequacy of new or existing milking systems (7) . Such dynamic (i.e. "milking-time") tests require the use of test instru...

Capacity and efficiency testing of new immunoassay analyzers.

To the Editor: We read with interest the recent report by Hendriks et al. (1 ) comparing processing capacity and efficiency for five different immunoassay analyzers. As the authors correctly state, the great diversity in laboratory organization and function means that no two laboratories have exactly the same requirements of an immunoassay analyzer. Given this reality, we would like to comment ...
