Summary

Google TAP can only preform RTS _across_ projects.
- I don't think this is true anymore. Perhaps they are talking about libraries that compile down to one file.
Try to build an RTS usable in practice
- Use Maven (33%), use JUnit (78%),
Total runtime = Analysis + Execution + Collection
In Ekstazi, granularity is file/class instead of method.
- File/class is always superset of method (has extra).
- Method-granularity often select classes anyway, since the class could override a parent method, and could have final fields.
- For external libs, "collecting only the classes is not safe, and hence Ekstazi uses files as dependencies". This is not explained.
- Don't use strace because:
  - Multiple tests could be run on the same JVM process
  - Multiple claseses bundled in one `.jar` file.
  - Instead dynamically instrument the bytecode and monitors the execution
  - Checksum
    - From bytecode, not source; robust to syntactic sugar.
    - Omit debug info
  - In the future, use DB for dep graph.
