Tests and Proofs : 12th International Conference, TAP 2018, Held as Part of STAF 2018, Toulouse, France, June 27-29, 2018, Proceedings (Lecture Notes in Computer Science 10889) (1st ed. 2018. 2018. xiv, 185 S. XIV, 185 p. 48 illus. 235 mm)

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Tests and Proofs, TAP 2018, held as part of STAF 2018, in Toulouse, France, in June 2018.
The 8 regular papers, 2 short papers, 1 invited paper and 1 invited tutorial presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 18 submissions. The TAP conference promotes research in verification and formal methods that targets the interplay of proofs and testing: the advancement of techniques of each kind and their combination, with the ultimate goal of improving software and system dependability.
Tests from Witnesses: Execution-Based Validation of Verification Results.- An Approximation-based Approach for the Random Exploration of large models.- Static and Dynamic Verification of Relational Properties on Self-Composed C Code.- Under-Approximation Generation Driven by Relevance Predicates and variants.- Using Dependence Graphs to Assist Verification and Testing of Information-Flow Properties.- Tactic Program-based Testing and Bounded Verification in Isabelle/HOL.- Verification Coverage for Combining Test and Proof.- Detection of Security Vulnerabilities in C Code using Runtime Verification: an Experience Report.- Formalizing (Web) Standards: An Application of Test and Proof.
