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 …

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

To realistically evaluate a software testing or debugging technique, it must be run on defects
and tests that are characteristic of those a developer would encounter in practice. For …

Bug localization represents one of the most expensive, as well as time-consuming, activities
during software maintenance and evolution. To alleviate the workload of developers …

Spectrum-based Fault Localization (SBFL) techniques use risk evaluation formulas to
calculate each statement's likelihood of having a bug based on test results. SBFL can not …

传统的软件错误定位技术通常利用测试覆盖信息计算程序语句发生错误的可疑度进行软件错误
定位, 但是这种定位技术没有充分考虑程序本身固有的依赖信息, 缺乏语句筛选 …

摘要程序源代码中的缺陷是导致软件不可靠的一个主要原因. 软件错误自动定位技术通过计算机
分析程序源代码或执行过程中产生的运行状态, 检测程序中的异常并将其独立出来作为需要 …

Fault localization is known to be one of the most time-consuming and difficult tasks in the
debugging process. Many fault localization techniques have been proposed to automate this …

According to an aspect of an embodiment, a method may include executing multiple tests
with respect to code under test of a software program to perform multiple test executions …

In recent years there has been an increasing number of research proposed for statistical
fault localization (SFL). One problem with most SFL techniques is that the estimates they …
