Visualizing Static Verification Results for SV-COMP

From witnesses to human-readable inspection and regression workflows

4th International Workshop on CPAchecker (CPA’19)Oct 02, 2019

This talk presents early work on visualizing static verification results in the context of SV-COMP, laying the groundwork for what later evolved into the Continuous Verification (CV) framework.

The presentation introduces a technique for converting both violation and correctness witnesses into a human-readable form, enabling effective manual inspection. It demonstrates visualization of correctness witnesses through practical examples and presents a web-based interface for exploring verification results produced by BenchExec.

The proposed approach supports regression verification workflows and helps bridge the gap between automated verification tools and human understanding.
