Original Abstract Submitted
A method for testing a computer program. The method includes: executing the computer program until a memory allocation command is activated for allocating a memory region; expanding the memory region by a protection zone having at least one memory location; allocating the expanded memory region; setting a watchpoint on each of one or more memory locations of the protection zone; continuing the execution of the computer program; and displaying, for each set watchpoint, that the computer program has a bug if the set watchpoint is triggered.
