  • Abstract
    In this paper, we show the applicability of combinatorial testing to the system call interface of the Linux kernel. Our approach is two-fold: first we analyze the Trinity fuzz tester and in the aftermath we adapt the input parameter modeling of Trinity to the field of combinatorial testing. Furthermore, apart from the modeling itself, we target to provide a configurable testing framework for executing tests obtained by the ACTS combinatorial test generation tool, called Eris.
