Software Verification: 10th Comparative Evaluation (SV-COMP 2021)
Dirk Beyer
Abstract
Abstract SV-COMP 2021 is the 10th edition of the Competition on Software Verification (SV-COMP), which is an annual comparative evaluation of fully automatic software verifiers for C and Java programs. The competition provides a snapshot of the current state of the art in the area, and has a strong focus on reproducibility of its results. The competition was based on 15 201 verification tasks for C programs and 473 verification tasks for Java programs. Each verification task consisted of a program and a property (reachability, memory safety, overflows, termination). SV-COMP 2021 had 30 participating verification systems from 27 teams from 11 countries.
