Context Multiple fault localization (MFL) is the act of identifying the locations of multiple faults
(more than one fault) in a faulty software program. This is known to be more complicated …

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 …

In software debugging, fault localization is the most difficult, expensive, tedious, and time-
consuming task, particularly for large-scale software systems. This is due to the fact that it …

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 …

This chapter describes traditional and intuitive fault localization techniques, including
program logging, assertions, breakpoints, and profiling. Many advanced fault localization …

The oracle problem remains one of the key challenges in software testing, for which little
automated support has been developed so far. In my thesis work we introduce a technique …

Abstract In a Software Product Line (SPL) system, variability bugs can cause failures in
certain products (buggy products), not in the others. In practice, variability bugs are not …

Coincidental correctness (CC) arises when a defective program produces the correct output
despite the fact that the defect within was exercised. Researchers have recognized the …

Spectrum-based fault localization (SBFL) uses the execution results of test cases to debug.
There are two types of SBFL techniques: one using conventional slices, and the other using …
