Abstract

Symbiotic is a tool for detection of bugs described by finite state machines in C programs. The tool combines three well-known techniques: instrumentation, program slicing, and symbolic execution. This paper briefly describes the approach of Symbiotic including its strengths, weaknesses, and modifications for SV-COMP 2013. Architecture and installation of the tool are described as well.
