How much code are you testing ? (3)

▶️ Intro : Let Me Be On the previous post we continued our journey with a more complex scenario, using a mix of gdb and valgrind to trace all the function execution inside a given binary. This time, hold on because we’re cranking up the complexity. We’ll dive deeper into low-level analysis and explore how to use Intel PIN, a powerful dynamic instrumentation framework for manipulating and inspecting executable code at runtime.

How much code are you testing ? (2)

▶️ Intro On the previous post we started our journey with a very simple scenario, and we used a nice feature of the Go programming language to get a measure of how much % of the target program our test is exercising. This time I am going to experiment a Proof of Concept about how we can obtain a test code coverage metric estimation for a normal binary program, without any recompilation. ...
