Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009095741A1] A software testing tool may selectively modify (instrument) portions of a software project for dynamic verification analysis based on the results a static verification analysis. In one implementation, the tool may perform a static verification analysis (315) of the computer code and selectively instrument portions of the computer code for dynamic verification analysis, the selected portion of the computer code including a portion of the computer code that was determined by the static verification analysis to include an unproven error condition. The tool may further execute the computer code to perform a dynamic verification analysis of the selectively instrumented portion of the computer code and store output information describing potential errors identified by the dynamic verification analysis.
