Despite being one of the most basic tasks in software development, debugging is still
performed in a mostly manual way, leading to high cost and low performance. To address …

Software fault localization, the act of identifying the locations of faults in a program, is widely
recognized to be one of the most tedious, time consuming, and expensive-yet equally critical …

Software fault localisation (SFL) is recognised to be one of the most tedious, costly, and
critical activities in program debugging. Due to the increase in software complexity, there is a …

Spectrum-based fault localization (SBFL) techniques are widely studied and have been
evaluated to be effective in locating faults. Recent studies also showed that developers from …

Trace data is critical for fault localization (FL) to analyze suspicious statements potentially
responsible for a failure. However, existing trace representation meets its bottleneck mainly …

Fault localization is the activity to locate faults in programs. Spectrum-based fault localization
(SBFL) is a class of techniques for it. It contrasts the code coverage achieved by passed runs …

Identifying the location of faults in programs has been recognized as one of the most
manually and time cost activities during software debugging process. Fault localization …

Although a test suite is indispensable for conducting effective fault localisation, not much
work has been done to study how the test suite impacts fault localisation. This study presents …

In automatic software fault localization techniques, both the coverage and the testing
outcomes of the provided test suite are considered to be essential information. The problem …

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 …
