Mutational Fuzz Testing for Constraint Modeling Systems

Authors: Wout Vanroose, Ignace Bleukx, Jo Devriendt, Dimos Tsouros, Hélène Verhaeghe, and Tias Guns

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 307, 30th International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP 2024)

Abstract
Constraint programming (CP) modeling languages, like MiniZinc, Essence and CPMpy, play a crucial role in making CP technology accessible to non-experts. Both solver-independent modeling frameworks and solvers themselves are complex pieces of software that can contain bugs, which undermines their usefulness. Mutational fuzz testing is a way to test complex systems by stochastically mutating input and verifying preserved properties of the mutated output. We investigate different mutations and verification methods that can be used on the constraint specifications directly. This includes methods proposed in the context of SMT problem specifications, as well as new methods related to global constraints, optimization, and solution counting/preservation. Our results show that such a fuzz testing approach improves the overall code coverage of a modeling system compared to only unit testing, and is able to find bugs in the whole toolchain, from the modeling language transformations themselves to the underlying solvers.

Human-Centred Feasibility Restoration

Authors: Ilankaikone Senthooran, Matthias Klapperstueck, Gleb Belov, Tobias Czauderna, Kevin Leo, Mark Wallace, Michael Wybrow, and Maria Garcia de la Banda

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 210, 27th International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP 2021)

Abstract
Decision systems for solving real-world combinatorial problems must be able to report infeasibility in such a way that users can understand the reasons behind it, and understand how to modify the problem to restore feasibility. Current methods mainly focus on reporting one or more subsets of the problem constraints that cause infeasibility. Methods that also show users how to restore feasibility tend to be less flexible and/or problem-dependent. We describe a problem-independent approach to feasibility restoration that combines existing techniques from the literature in novel ways to yield meaningful, useful, practical and flexible user support. We evaluate the resulting framework on two real-world applications.
