Abstract
A method is described that involves generating one or more machine learned rules with a machine learning system. The method also involves generating a representation of an application that describes various states and state transitions of the application. The method also involves referring to the one or more machine learned rules and the representation to identify a region of interest of the application. The method also involves configuring one or more monitors for the application to be enabled in a run time environment of the application. The method also involves setting conditions of the application within the run time environment to drive the application's execution to the region of interest. The method also involves observing behaviors of the application and determining whether the region of interest corresponds to improperly behaving code.
