The literature of Automated Program Repair is largely dominated by approaches that
leverage test suites not only to expose bugs but also to validate the generated patches …

A long-standing open challenge for automated program repair is the overfitting problem,
which is caused by having insufficient or incomplete specifications to validate whether a …

Automated program repair (APR) techniques have shown a promising ability to generate
patches that fix program bugs automatically. Typically such APR tools are dynamic in the …

Test-based automated program repair techniques use test cases to validate the correctness
of automatically-generated patches. However, insufficient test cases lead to the generation …

Background: Over the years, Automated Program Repair (APR) has attracted much attention
from both academia and industry since it can reduce the costs in fixing bugs. However, how …

The success of automated program repair (APR) depends significantly on its ability to
localize the defects it is repairing. For fault localization (FL), APR tools typically use either …

Properly benchmarking Automated Program Repair (APR) systems should contribute to the
development and adoption of the research outputs by practitioners. To that end, the research …

Automatic program repair (APR) has recently gained attention because it proposes to fix
software defects with no human intervention. To automatically fix defects, most APR tools …

Dynamic automated program repair (APR) techniques, which use test suites for bug
localization and evaluating candidate patches, have promising results. However, many …

Datasets of real-world bugs shipped with human-written patches are intensively used in the
evaluation of existing automated program repair (APR) techniques, wherein the human …
