[klee-dev] using klee with Siemens Benchmarks

Thu Mar 7 10:52:56 GMT 2013

1. How do you define 'design structure'?
2. You might be criticising an apple for not being a good orange. KLEE is designed to tests the program it's being executed on, and if one also wants to test 41 variants, he/she will run KLEE again on the variants. I'm not sure what you would expect, even in a simple scenario like

if (input = 100) {
 //something
}

You would need to generate 2^sizeof(input) inputs to take into account all possible mutations to the literal 100 using regression testing.
