Query: Vulnerability Coverage as an Adequacy Testing Criterion   Mainstream software applications and tools are the configurable platforms
with an enormous number of parameters along with their values. Certain settings
and possible interactions between these parameters may harden (or soften) the
security and robustness of these applications against some known
vulnerabilities. However, the large number of vulnerabilities reported and
associated with these tools make the exhaustive testing of these tools
infeasible against these vulnerabilities infeasible. As an instance of general
software testing problem, the research question to address is whether the
system under test is robust and secure against these vulnerabilities. This
paper introduces the idea of ``vulnerability coverage,'' a concept to
adequately test a given application for a certain classes of vulnerabilities,
as reported by the National Vulnerability Database (NVD). The deriving idea is
to utilize the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) as a means to measure
the fitness of test inputs generated by evolutionary algorithms and then
through pattern matching identify vulnerabilities that match the generated
vulnerability vectors and then test the system under test for those identified
vulnerabilities. We report the performance of two evolutionary algorithms
(i.e., Genetic Algorithms and Particle Swarm Optimization) in generating the
vulnerability pattern vectors.
