Validating Changes and Upgrades in Networked Software

The vision of PINCETTE is to solve the problem of high cost of changes by introducing an automated framework and methodology, and a mix of technologies to identify the impact of changes that derive from intra-component changes (due to error fixing and functionality enhancement) and from component replacement within a single product and a product family. This methodology improves the reliability of networked software by implementing an innovative solution for the automatic detection, localization, and repair of program bugs.
