Coyote

Coyote, often called Microsoft Coyote, is a testing and verification tool for software that helps identify bugs in concurrent or asynchronous applications. It systematically explores different possible execution paths to detect issues like deadlocks, race conditions, or unexpected behaviors before deployment. By doing so, it enhances program reliability, especially in complex systems where multiple processes run simultaneously. Coyote works by controlling and monitoring the execution flow, allowing developers to simulate various scenarios and ensure their code handles all situations correctly. This helps improve software quality and robustness in scalable, real-time, or distributed environments.
