On Detecting Concurrency Defects Automatically at the Design Level

Padberg, Frank; Carril Rodriguez, Luis Manuel; Blersch, Martin; Denninger, Oliver

Abstract:

We describe an automated approach for detecting concurrency defects from design diagrams of a software, in particular, sequence diagrams. From a given sequence diagram, we automatically infer a formal, parallel specification that generalizes the communication behavior that is designed informally and incompletely in the diagram. We model-check the parallel specification against generic concurrency defect patterns. No additional specification of the software is needed. We present several case-studies to evaluate our approach. The results show that our approach is technically feasible, and effective in detecting nasty concurrency defects at the design level.
