Multiple Error Analysis in Practice
Detecting multiple bugs in a single verification run
This talk presents Multiple Error Analysis (MEA), a technique for discovering several bugs within a single verification workflow instead of stopping after the first error.
Applied to Linux kernel verification, MEA enabled the discovery of over 200 new potential bugs, while requiring only about twice the runtime of a basic single-error approach. At the same time, the number of error traces requiring manual inspection was reduced by more than thirty times.
The presentation emphasizes practical experience with MEA and its impact on large-scale, real-world verification tasks.
