Testing of concurrent software is difficult due tothe non-determinism present in scheduling of concurrent threads. Existingtesting approaches tackle this problem either using a modified scheduler whichallows to systematically explore possible scheduling alternatives or usingrandom or heuristic noise injection which allows to observe different schedulingscenarios. In this paper, we experimentally compare several existing noiseinjection heuristics both from the point of view of coverage of possiblebehaviours as well as from the point of view of error discovery probability.Moreover, we also propose a new noise injection heuristics which usesconcurrency coverage information to decide where to put noise and show that itcan outperform the existing approaches in certain cases.
