Abstract :
In this document, we discuss the power of abstract semantics analysis, a breakthrough technique that has been successfully applied to solve traditional software testing challenges in the embedded systems industry. This approach radically departs from conventional testing as it does not rely on random tests to analyze code robustness. The paper addresses what abstract semantics analysis is, how the technique works and why it is a more effective solution to run-time error detection and debugging.
