The Impact of Bug Oracle Implementation on the Effectiveness of Smart Contract Analysis Tools
Published in Korea Software Congress 2024, 2024
Abstract.
When implementing dynamic analysis techniques for error detection in smart contracts, implementing an appropriate test oracle is a critical and challenging task. This study compares and analyzes the oracles used by various dynamic analysis tools to detect ether leakage errors in smart contracts. Based on this analysis, we present real-world contract examples where each tool generates false positives or false negatives, and discuss their implications.
