| 2019 | Grapple: A Graph System for Static Finite-State Property Checking of Large-Scale Systems CodeabstractMany real-world bugs in large-scale systems are related to object state that is supposed to obey a specified finite state machine (FSM). They are triggered when unexpected events occur on objects in certain states, making these objects transition in a way that violates their specifications. Detecting such FSM-related bugs with static analysis is challenging, especially in distributed systems that have large codebases.
