Top 4 Reasons people give for ignoring robustness improvement • “My API is already robust, especially for easy problems” (it’s probably not) • “Robustness is impractical” (it is practical) • “Robust code will be too slow” (it need not be) • “We already know how to do it, thank you very much” (perhaps they don’t) Conclusions • The big future problem for “near-stationary” robustness isn’t technology -- it is awareness & training 2 Ballista Software Testing Overview SPECIFIED INPUT RESPONSE BEHAVIOR SPACE SPACE ROBUST SHOULD VAL I D OPERATION WORK INPUTS MO DULE REPRODUCIBLE UNDEFINED UNDER FAILURE TEST SHOULD INVALID INPUTS UNREPRODUCIBLE RETURN FAILURE ERROR Abstracts testing to the API/Data type level • Most test cases are exceptional • Test cases based on best-practice SW testing methodology 3 Ballista: Test Generation (fine grain testing) Tests developed per data type/subtype; scalable via composition 4 Initial Results: Most APIs Weren’t Robust Unix & Windows systems had poor robustness scores: • 24% to 48% of intentionally exceptional Unix tests yielded non-robust results • Found simple “system killer” programs in Unix, Win 95/98/ME, and WinCE

Initially targeting netbooks, its main selling points are speed, simplicity and security — which kind of implies that the current No.1 OS doesn't deliver in these areas!

    Introduction to Unix Class 1 * Notes adapted by Alexey Onufriev from previous work by other members of the CS faculty at Virginia Tech What is Unix? A modern computer operating system Operating System “a program that acts as an intermediary between a user of the computer and the computer hardware” Software that manages your computer’s resources (files, programs, disks, network) Examples: Windows, MacOSX, Solaris, BSD, Linux (e.g. Mandrake, Red Hat, Slackware, SUSE) Modern Stable, flexible, configurable, allows multiple users and programs (C) Alexey Onufriev and Virginia Tech CS and Physics Dept. 2 Why Learn Unix? Will make you a better computer scientist UNIX is a building block for many CS concepts Open source and stable (no viruses, worms, etc) Used in many scientific and industrial settings. Huge number of free and well-written software programs Excellent programming environment. Different paradigm. Roughly 65% of the world’s web servers are Linux/Unix machines running Apache. Prerequisite to many other CS courses to follow (Operating Systems, Numerical methods, etc. ) (C) Alexey Onufriev and Virginia Tech CS and Physics Dept. 3 Example: Unix Open Office (C) Alexey Onufriev and Virginia Tech CS and Physics Dept. 4 Brief History of Unix Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie originally developed the earliest versions of Unix at Bell Labs for internal use in the 1970s Simple and elegant Meant for programmers and experts Written in a high-level language instead of assembly language Small portion written in assembly language (kernel) Remaining code written in C on top of the kernel http://www.bell-labs.com/history/unix/ (C) Alexey Onufriev and Virginia Tech CS and Physics Dept.
