Robustness Against Read Committed: A Free Transactional Lunch
Summary: Survey of complete tests for when multiversion Read Committed yields serializable behavior for given transaction programs, providing exact (not just sufficient) robustness conditions. Lifts testing to transaction templates/programs for practical verification and highlights open problems. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
