Title
Semantic metrics through error flow analysis
Abstract
Error flow analysis of a computer program derives information about how potential data state errors may arise and propagate as the program executes. This information can be used to measure the semantic effects on an execution path caused by changing statements along the path. A dynamic style of error flow analysis is defined and a system for performing this analysis called Dynamic Error Flow Analysis (DEFA) is described. Examples of several semantic metrics produced by running DEFA are given.
