Yet, despite the plethora VTables, however, can be manipulated without necessarily corrupt- of defenses in place [37], attackers still find ways to compromise ing memory, simply by leveraging use-after-free bugs.

  • Analysis Server User Guide
    Analysis Server User Guide This manual explains the basic principles and functionality of the Analysis Server, a software system that enables users to incorporate legacy software into reusable components that can be published on a network. This manual also discusses seven utilities for creating new software components: AnalysisLibraryWrapper, FileWrapper, ExcelWrap- per, ScriptWrapper, PerlWrapper, PXCWrapper, and Java Bean component authoring. The Analysis Server answers several questions that have plagued engineering analysis groups for years: l "How can I provide multi-platform access to our legacy software?" l "How do I make our complicated, convoluted codes a little easier for novices to use?" l "Why do I have to spend all day writing input files and parsing output files when I only want a few critical val- ues?" The Analysis Server allows the user to control complex engineering programs through a simple set of commands (e.g. get, set, and execute). This interface is consistent across all Analysis Server components, so users who understand how to manipulate one component can manipulate them all. The result is enhanced user-friendliness without rewriting the original software. Distributed access and ease of use are only the tip of the Analysis Server's capabilities. Its command set can be incor- porated into a client program, which means that other programs can directly access data from Analysis Server com- ponents. An Analysis Server client can transfer data directly from legacy software to an Excel workbook, for example. If the client program has an integration architecture, it is possible to make several previously stand-alone leg- acy programs from geographically distant, hardware distinct machines work together as though modules of a single program.

Recognizing the importance of Graphical user interfaces (GUIs) are important parts of GUIs, software developers are dedicating large parts of the today’s software and their correct execution is required to code to implementing GUIs [12]. The correctness of this ensure the correctness of the overall software. A popular code is essential to the correct execution of the overall soft- technique to detect defects in GUIs is to test them by exe- ware. A popular technique to detect defects in software is cuting test cases and checking the execution results. Test testing [3, 2, 23]. During testing, test cases are created and cases may either be created manually or generated auto- executed on the software. Test cases may either be created matically from a model of the GUI. While manual testing manually by a tester [10, 27, 8] or automatically by using a is unacceptably slow for many applications, our experience model of the software derived from its specifications [20]. with GUI testing has shown that creating a model that can In all our work to date [20, 17, 21, 16, 18, 19, 15, 12, 14], be used for automated test case generation is difficult.
