Abstract
A system and method for identifying errors in a computer software include: identifying a potential problem in the computer software; triggering a portion of the computer software by the identified potential problem; determining a control flow graph and a data flow graph for the triggered portion of the computer software originating at the identified potential problem; and analyzing the control flow graph and the data flow graph to verify that the identified potential problem is an actual error. The potential problem may be identified using test tools such as a static analysis tool or a unit test tool.
