Projects

There are a number of currently active projects that use JPF, as well as legacy code.

Active Projects

JPF-HJ - Custom Habanero Java Runtime that allows for verification of Habanero Java programs -- Eric Mercer [email protected] and Peter Anderson [email protected]
Mango - specification and proof artifact generation
Net-iocache - I/O cache extension to handle network communication
Trace Server - enables storing, querying and analysis of the execution trace
jpf-shell - a graphical user interface for JPF
JDart - a concolic execution engine Java based on JPF. jpf-jdart can be used to generate test cases as well as the symbolic summaries of methods. The tool executes Java programs with concrete and symbolic values at the same time and records symbolic constraints describing all the decisions along a particular path of the execution. These path constraints are then used to find new paths in the program. Concrete data values for exercising these paths are generated using a constraint solver.
PSYCO - generates and verifies symbolic behavioral interfaces for software components using a combination of multiple dynamic and static analysis techniques: active automata learning, concolic execution, static code analysis, symbolic search, predicate abstraction, and model-based testing.
jConstraints - a constraint solver abstraction layer for Java. It provides an object representation for logic expressions, unified access to different SMT and interpolation solvers, and some useful tools and algorithms for working with constraints. While JConstraints has been developed for jpf-jdart, it is maintained as a stand-alone library that can be used independently. Currently, plugins exist for connecting to the SMT solver Z3, the interpolation solver SMTInterpol, the meta-heuristic based constraint solver Coral. Available plugins can be found here.
Symbolic PathFinder - combines symbolic execution with model checking and constraint solving for test case generation. In this tool, programs are executed on symbolic inputs representing multiple concrete inputs. Values of variables are represented as numeric constraints, generated from analysis of the code structure. These constraints are then solved to generate test inputs guaranteed to reach that part of code. Essentially SPF performs symbolic execution for Java programs at the bytecode level. Symbolic PathFinder uses the analysis engine of the Ames JPF model checking tool (i.e. jpf-core).

Inactive Projects
