We present StaDy, a new integration of the concolic test generator PathCrawler within the software analysis platform Frama- C. When executing a dynamic analysis of a C code, the integrated test generator also exploits its formal specification, written in an executable fragment of the acsl specification language shared with other analyzers of Frama-C. The test generator provides the user with accurate verdicts, that other Frama-C plugins can reuse to improve their own analyses. This tool is designed to be the foundation stone of static and dynamic analysis combinations in the Frama-C platform. Our first experiments confirm the benefits of such a deep integration of static and dynamic analysis within the same platform.
