Researchers have argued that for failure to be observed the following three conditions must
be met: CR= the defect was reached; CI= the program has transitioned into an infectious …

Failures triggered by hard to debug defects usually involve complex interactions between
many program elements. This paper hypothesizes that information flows present a good …

Following a program failure, the main concern of the developer is to identify what caused it
in order to repair the code that induced it. The first activity is termed fault localization …

SQL injection attacks (SQLIAs) aim at exploiting vulnerabilities in web applications in order
to execute malicious SQL commands. It is established that prepared statements are resilient …

Developers often make multiple changes to software. These changes are introduced to work
cooperatively or to accomplish separate goals. However, changes might not interact as …

Coverage-based fault localization techniques aim at locating faulty code by first identifying
the executing program elements that correlate the most with failure. It often happens that the …

Enterprise networks are vulnerable to attacks ranging from data leaks to the spread of
malware to insider threats. Previous defenses have largely focused on securing hosts; …

Code coverage is one of the core quality metrics adopted by software testing practitioners
nowadays. Researchers have devised several coverage criteria that testers use to assess …

Context Program execution profiles have been extensively and successfully used in several
dynamic analysis fields such as software testing and fault localization. Objective This paper …

Researchers in the dynamic program analysis field have extensively used cluster analysis to
address various problems. Typically, the clustering techniques are applied onto execution …
