Described herein are systems and methods for distributed concurrency (DC) bug detection. The method includes identifying a plurality of nodes in a distributed computing cluster; identifying a plurality of messages to be transmitted during execution of an application by the distributed computing cluster; determining a set of orderings of the plurality of messages for DC bug detection, the set of orderings determined based upon the plurality of nodes and the plurality of messages; removing a subset of the orderings from the set of orderings based upon one or more of a state symmetry algorithm, a disjoint-update independence algorithm, or a zero-crash-impact reordering algorithm; and performing DC bug detection testing using the set of orderings after the subset of the orderings is removed from the set of orderings.
