      ab: The article on the Veritesting dynamic symbolic execution and path merging or static symbolic execution testing technique for automating software testing as a method of solving the "path explosion" problem is presented. The bug identification rate of MergePoint software with veritesting is compared to MergePoint without veritesting using Debian binaries and verification-based algorithms are presented as a technique to enhance symbolic execution.
