In the past decade, research on test-suite-based automatic program repair has grown
significantly. Each year, new approaches and implementations are featured in major …

Test-based automated program repair has been a prolific field of research in software
engineering in the last decade. Many approaches have indeed been proposed, which …

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 …

Defects4J is a large, peer-reviewed, structured dataset of real-world Java bugs. Each bug in
Defects4J comes with a test suite and at least one failing test case that triggers the bug. In …

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

Automated program repair is a promising approach to reducing the costs of manual
debugging and increasing software quality. However, recent studies have shown that …

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 …

Test-based automatic program repair has attracted a lot of attention in recent years.
However, the test suites in practice are often too weak to guarantee correctness and existing …

Many implementations of research techniques that automatically repair software bugs target
programs written in C. Work that targets Java often begins from or compares to direct …

Automated generate-and-validate program repair techniques (G&V techniques) suffer from
generating many overfitted patches due to in-capabilities of test cases. Such overfitted …
