NOTE: the official repository of bcov is: https://github.com/abenkhadra/bcov

This repository contains the artifacts accompanying our paper: "Efficient Binary-Level Coverage Analysis", which appeared in  ESEC/FSE'20. The artifacts consists of two packages, namely, bcov-benchmarks.tar.gz and bcov-artifacts.tar.gz. The former package contains the complete list of binaries described in our experiments. The artifacts of the latter package are organized as follows:

  - sample-binaries. Folder that contains sample binaries patched with bcov.

  - dataset.tar.gz. Package containing experimental data in csv format.

  - figures. Folder that contains the python script used to generate the figures
  of our paper. It assumes that the dataset was first extracted to the folder `dataset`.

  - install.sh. This script builds and installs bcov together with its dependencies.

  - experiment-01.sh. This script patches our sample binaries and shows how coverage
  data can be collected. It assumes that bcov was installed using the previous script.

  - bcov.tar.gz. Source code of the first public version of `bcov`. The tool is distributed under an MIT license.
