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 …

Compilers are among the most fundamental programming tools for building software.
However, production compilers remain buggy. Fuzz testing is often leveraged with …

In the last two decades, a great amount of effort has been put in researching automated
debugging techniques to support developers in the debugging process. However, in a …

Program debugging is a time-consuming task, and researchers have proposed different
kinds of automatic fault localization techniques to mitigate the burden of manual debugging …

Software bugs are prevalent and fixing them is time consuming, and therefore
troubleshooting is an important part of software engineering. This paper presents a novel …

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 …

A known limitation of many diagnosis algorithms is that the number of diagnoses they return
can be very large. This is both time consuming and not very helpful from the perspective of a …

Context: Software systems are an integral part of almost every modern industry.
Unfortunately, the more complex the software, the more likely it will fail. A promising strategy …

Spectrum-based fault localization (SFL) correlates a system's components with observed
failures. By reasoning about coverage, SFL allows for a lightweight way of pinpointing faults …

It is a widely-adopted strategy for developers to monitor the values of program variables
when debugging in practice. In particular, developers often set breakpoints at specific …
