Project Yin-Yang
for SMT Solver Testing. Satisfiability Modulo
Theory (SMT) solvers are foundational tools for many
subareas of computer science, including formal
verification, programming languages, and software
engineering. Their reliability and robustness are
crucial, especially for the safety-critical domains.
However, effectively validating SMT solvers has been a
longstanding challenge. The goal of Project Yin-Yang is
to develop novel, effective, practical methods and
techniques to help make SMT solvers more reliable,
powerful, and usable. |
