Abstract : Abstract. We show how to combine program slicing and constraint solving in order to obtain better slice accuracy. The method is used in a program analysis tool for the validation of computer-controlled measurement systems. It will be used by the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt for verification of legally required calibration standards. The paper describes how to generate and simplify path conditions based on program slices. An example shows that the technique can indeed increase slice precision and reveal manipulations of the so-called calibration path.,
