Shadow of a doubt: testing for divergences between software versions

Hristina Palikareva, Tomasz Kuchta, Cristian Cadar

Abstract

While developers are aware of the importance of comprehensively testing patches, the large effort involved in coming up with relevant test cases means that such testing rarely happens in practice. Furthermore, even when test cases are written to cover the patch, they often exercise the same behaviour in the old and the new version of the code.
