    Z3 is an efficient Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) solver from
    Microsoft Research. Z3 is a solver for symbolic logic, a foundation for
    many software engineering tools. SMT solvers rely on a tight integration of
    specialized engines of proof. Each engine owns a piece of the global puzzle
    and implements specialized algorithms. For example, Z3’s engine for
    arithmetic integrates Simplex, cuts and polynomial reasoning, while an
    engine for strings are regular expressions integrate methods for symbolic
    derivatives of regular languages. A theme shared among many of the
    algorithms is how they exploit a duality between finding satisfying
    solutions and finding refutation proofs. The solver also integrates engines
    for global and local inferences and global propagation. Z3 is used in a
    wide range of software engineering applications, ranging from program
    verification, compiler validation, testing, fuzzing using dynamic symbolic
    execution, model-based software development, network verification, and
    optimization.
