APOLLO

We automate the generation of regression-triggering queries, simplifies the bug reporting process for users, and enables developers to quickly pinpoint the root cause of performance regressions. By automating the detection and diagnosis of performance regressions, APOLLO reduces the labor cost of developing efficient DBMSs.

SQLFuzz

SQLFUZZ will perform feedback-driven mutational fuzzing to generate SQL statements and provide wider coverage of the SQL input domain. The key idea is to guide the fuzzing engine based on domain-specific feedback (i.e., probability for each clause in a SQL query), including runtime performance.

SQLMin

SQLMIN will automatically distill the regression-activating SQL statements discovered by SQLFUZZ to their essence for filing regression reports. The user will send the regression report to the developers containing the query reduced by SQLMIN.

• Note: we integrated the SQLMin into SQLFuzz (i.e., SQLFuzz minimizes the query once it identifies performance regression)

SQLDebug

The developer will use SQLDEBUG to diagnose the root cause of the regression from the simplified test case produced by SQLMIN.
