Abstract

The subject disclosure relates to effective dynamic monitoring of an application executing in a computing system by increasing concurrency coverage. A set of dynamic checks are linked to an application by mechanisms that enable the dynamic checks to monitor behavior of the application at runtime. As additionally described herein, concurrency fuzzing is applied to the application to randomize thread schedules of the application, thus increasing a number of disparate concurrency scenarios of the application observed by the plurality of dynamic checks.
