Experimental artifacts

This repository contains the artifacts accompanying the tool bcov which is presented in our paper "Efficient Binary-Level Coverage Analysis" (accepted to ESEC/FSE'20). The artifacts are organized as follows:

• sample-binaries. This folder contains sample binaries patched with our tool.

• dataset.tar.gz. This package contains experimental data in csv format.

• figures. This folder contains a python script used to generate the figures of our paper. It assumes the dataset was first extracted to folder dataset

• install.sh. This script builds and installs bcov together with its dependencies.

• experiment-01.sh. This script patches the sample binaries and shows how coverage data can be collected. It assumes that bcov was installed using install.sh.

• Dockerfile. A file to build and install the artifacts in a docker image.

The docker image can be built by running,

sudo docker build  --tag bcov-image:0.1 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abenkhadra/bcov-artifacts/master/Dockerfile

Then, the installed artifacts can be examined,

sudo docker run -w /home/bcov-artifacts -it bcov-image:0.1
