Concept This paper is a living review on automatic program repair 1. Compared to a
traditional survey, a living review evolves over time. I use a concise bullet-list style meant to …

With the rapid development and large-scale popularity of program software, modern society
increasingly relies on software systems. However, the problems exposed by software have …

Software vulnerabilities are now reported unprecedentedly due to the recent development of
automated vulnerability hunting tools. However, fixing vulnerabilities still mainly depends on …

Automated program repair (APR) holds the promise of aiding manual debugging activities.
Over a decade of evolution, a broad range of APR techniques have been proposed and …

In this work, we present a novel approach that connects two closely-related topics: fuzzing
and automated program repair (APR). The paper is divided into two parts. In the first part, we …

Most automated program repair methods rely on test cases to determine the correctness of
the generated patches. However, due to the incompleteness of available test suites, some …

Test-based generate-and-validate automated program repair (APR) systems often generate
many patches that pass the test suite without fixing the bug. The generated patches must be …

Recent years have seen a rise in neural program repair systems in the software engineering
community, which adopt advanced deep learning techniques to automatically fix bugs …

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