Abstract

A method of testing software may include accessing first software that includes multiple execution paths and concretely executing the first software using a test case associated with second software to traverse at least a first execution path of the execution paths. The method may also include capturing concrete execution results produced from concretely executing the first software to record the first execution path and symbolically executing the first software using a symbolic input based on the recorded first execution path.
