Efficient Multiplex Symbolic Execution with Adaptive Search Strategy
Symbolic execution is still facing the scalability problem caused by path explosion and constraint solving overhead. The recently proposed MuSE framework supports exploring multiple paths by generating partial solutions in one time of solving. In this work, we improve MuSE from two aspects. Firstly, we use a light weight check to reduce redundant partial solutions for avoiding the redundant executions having the same results. Secondly, we introduce online learning to devise an adaptive search strategy for the target programs. The preliminary experimental results indicate the promising of the proposed methods.
