To improve the efficiency of the fault localization process, different automatic fault
localization approaches have been proposed. Among these approaches, the spectrum …

Spectrum-based fault localization (SBFL) is an automated fault localization technique that
uses risk evaluation metrics to compute the suspiciousness scores from program spectra …

This paper aims to investigate the negative effects of multiple-faults on spectrum-based fault
localization (SBFL). Previously, researchers validated the fact that the occurrence of multiple …

Automatic fault localization is essential for software engineering. However, fault localization
suffers from the interactions among multiple faults. Our previous research revealed that the …

Despite the proven applicability of the spectrum-based fault localization (SBFL) methods,
their effectiveness may be degraded due to the presence of coincidental correctness, which …

Context: Spectrum-based fault localization (SBFL) performs statistical analysis on the
coverage information of failed or passed test cases. It provides the programmer with a guide …

Spectrum-based fault localization (SBFL) is a promising approach to reduce the cost of
program debugging and there has been a large body of research on introducing effective …

Although empirical studies have confirmed the effectiveness of spectrum-based fault
localisation (SBFL) techniques, their performance may be degraded due to presence of …

Spectral fault localization (SFL) is an automatic fault-localization technique, which uses risk
evaluation formula to rank the risk of fault existence in each program entity after collecting …

Spectrum-based fault localization (SFL) is a lightweight approach, which aims at helping
debuggers to identity root causes of failures by measuring suspiciousness for each program …
