Abstract
The use of dynamic invariants to describe software behaviour has gained
increasing popularity and various tools and techniques for mining and using
these invariants have been published. Typically, these invariants are used to
support various software engineering tasks, such as testing and debugging,
which require one to understand and be able to reason about the system
behaviour in terms of these invariants. However, the existing works are
generally focused on a specific set of invariants for a specific purpose. In
many cases it is also useful to view these in a wider context to enable a
wider understanding of the invariants and to provide more extensive support
across different domains. This paper presents work towards a general taxonomy
describing the properties of dynamic invariants based on a review of existing
work in their use, providing a basis for a wider adoption of different
invariant features in different domains.
