Context: Identifying the root cause of a software bug and fixing it is challenging. One reason
for this is that many bugs are not reproducible during bug fixing. Objective: We aim to …

Change impact analysis evaluates the changes that are made in the software and finds the
ripple effects, in other words, finds the affected software components. Code changes and …

Spectrum-based fault localization (SBFL) techniques can aid in debugging, but their
practicality in industrial settings has been limited due to the large number of tests needed to …

Many Spectrum-based Fault Localization (SBFL) techniques have been published over the
years, but they are still rarely used in the industry. Traditional SBFL methods may be …
