Effective white-box testing of deep neural networks with adaptive neuron-selection strategy
Seokhyun Lee, Sooyoung Cha, Dain Lee, Hakjoo Oh

We present Adapt, a new white-box testing technique for deep neural networks. As deep neural networks are increasingly used in safety-first applications, testing their behavior systematically has become a critical problem. Accordingly, various testing techniques for deep neural networks have been proposed in recent years. However, neural network testing is still at an early stage and existing techniques are not yet sufficiently effective. In this paper, we aim to advance this field, in particula

Automatically generating search heuristics for concolic testing
Sooyoung Cha, Seongjoon Hong, Junhee Lee, Hakjoo Oh

We present a technique to automatically generate search heuristics for concolic testing. A key challenge in concolic testing is how to effectively explore the program's execution paths to achieve high code coverage in a limited time budget. Concolic testing employs a search heuristic to address this challenge, which favors exploring particular types of paths that are most likely to maximize the final coverage. However, manually designing a good search heuristic is nontrivial and typically ends u

Concolic testing with adaptively changing search heuristics
Sooyoung Cha, Hakjoo Oh

We present Chameleon, a new approach for adaptively changing search heuristics during concolic testing. Search heuristics play a central role in concolic testing as they mitigate the path-explosion problem by focusing on particular program paths that are likely to increase code coverage as quickly as possible. A variety of techniques for search heuristics have been proposed over the past decade. However, existing approaches are limited in that they use the same search heuristics throughout the e

Learning Seed-Adaptive Mutation Strategies for Greybox Fuzzing
Myungho Lee, Sooyoung Cha, Hakjoo Oh

In this paper, we present a technique for learning seed-adaptive mutation strategies for fuzzers. The performance of mutation-based fuzzers highly depends on the mutation strategy that specifies the probability distribution of selecting mutation methods. As a result, developing an effective mutation strategy has received much attention recently, and program-adaptive techniques, which observe the behavior of the target program to learn the optimized mutation strategy per program, have become a tr

Enhancing Dynamic Symbolic Execution by Automatically Learning Search Heuristics

We present a technique to automatically generate search heuristics for dynamic symbolic execution. A key challenge in dynamic symbolic execution is how to effectively explore the program's execution paths to achieve high code coverage in a limited time budget. Dynamic symbolic execution employs a search heuristic to address this challenge, which favors exploring particular types of paths that are most likely to maximize the final coverage.

Template-guided concolic testing via online learning
Sooyoung Cha, Seonho Lee, Hakjoo Oh

We present template-guided concolic testing, a new technique for effectively reducing the search space in concolic testing. Addressing the path-explosion problem has been a significant challenge in concolic testing. Diverse search heuristics have been proposed to mitigate this problem but using search heuristics alone is not sufficient to substantially improve code coverage for real-world programs. The goal of this paper is to complement existing techniques and achieve higher coverage by exploit

Making symbolic execution promising by learning aggressive state-pruning strategy
Sooyoung Cha, Hakjoo Oh

We present HOMI, a new technique to enhance symbolic execution by maintaining only a small number of promising states. In practice, symbolic execution typically maintains as many states as possible in a fear of losing important states. In this paper, however, we show that only a tiny subset of the states plays a significant role in increasing code coverage or reaching bug points. Based on this observation, HOMI aims to minimize the total number of states while keeping “promising” states during s

SymTuner
Sooyoung Cha, Myungho Lee, Seokhyun Lee, Hakjoo Oh
Proceedings of the 44th International Conference on Software Engineering

We present SymTuner, a novel technique to automatically tune external parameters of symbolic execution. Practical symbolic execution tools have important external parameters (e.g., symbolic arguments, seed input) that critically affect their performance. Due to the huge parameter space, however, manually customizing those parameters is notoriously difficult even for experts. As a consequence, symbolic execution tools have typically been used in a suboptimal manner that, for example, simply relie

FeatMaker: Automated Feature Engineering for Search Strategy of Symbolic Execution
J.B. Yoon, Sooyoung Cha
Proceedings of the ACM on software engineering.OA

We present FeatMaker , a novel technique that automatically generates state features to enhance the search strategy of symbolic execution. Search strategies, designed to address the well-known state-explosion problem, prioritize which program states to explore. These strategies typically depend on a “state feature” that describes a specific property of program states, using this feature to score and rank them. Recently, search strategies employing multiple state features have shown superior perf
