Software bugs can cause significant financial loss and even the loss of human lives. To
reduce such loss, developers devote substantial efforts to fixing bugs, which generally …

Several automated program repair techniques have been proposed to reduce the time and
effort spent in bug-fixing. While these repair tools are designed to be generic such that they …

Effective automated program repair techniques have great potential to reduce the costs of
debugging and maintenance. Previously proposed automated program repair (APR) …

Bug fixing is a time-consuming and tedious task. To reduce the manual efforts in bug fixing,
researchers have presented automated approaches to software repair. Unfortunately, recent …

We present our automated program repair technique ssFix which leverages existing code
(from a code database) that is syntax-related to the context of a bug to produce patches for …

During the last years, the software engineering research community has proposed
approaches for automatically repairing software bugs. Unfortunately, many software artifacts …

Recent advances in program repair techniques have raised the possibility of patching bugs
automatically. For an automatically generated patch to be accepted by developers, it should …

Benchmarks of bugs are essential to empirically evaluate automatic program repair tools. In
this paper, we present BEARS, a project for collecting and storing bugs into an extensible …

Automated program repair techniques use a buggy program and a partial specification
(typically a test suite) to produce a program variant that satisfies the specification. While prior …

Software bugs remain a compelling problem. Automated program repair is a promising
approach for reducing cost, and many methods have recently demonstrated positive results …
