Abstract
A system and method for in-vivo multi-path analysis and testing of binary software including binary device drivers is disclosed. The system and method may be used to test a binary software system and may comprise a virtual machine, a symbolic execution engine and a modular plugin architecture. In addition, a device driver testing system is also disclosed wherein symbolic execution may be used to explore the device driver's execution paths and check for device driver behavior.
