To improve the software debugging efficiency, bug localization techniques have been
developed to automatically locate buggy files based on bug reports. Traditional information …

Both software debugging and artificial intelligence techniques are hot topics in the current
field of software engineering. Debugging techniques, which comprise fault localization and …

Mutation-Based Fault Localization (MBFL) is one of the most widely studied techniques.
MBFL adopts mutation analysis to generate mutants for revealing potential faults in the …

Fault localization is an important part of software testing and debugging, helping improve the
process of fixing faults. Mutation-Based Fault Localization (MBFL) is widely used, but the …

Multiple fault localization (MFL) identifies the positions of multiple faults (ie, more than one
fault) residing in a buggy program. It is notably more difficult as compared with single fault …

Many spectrum-based fault localization (SBFL) techniques have been proposed in order to
improve debugging efficiency. These SBFL techniques were designed according to different …

Identifying the location of faults in real‐world programs is one of the costly processes during
software debugging. To reduce the debugging effort, various fault localization techniques …

Fault localization is a complex, costly and time‐consuming task in software debugging.
Numerous automated techniques have been developed to expedite this process. Mutation …

Debugging is a key activity in the software development process. It has been used
extensively by developers to attempt to localize faults, while enhancing the quality and …

Abstract The existing Software Fault Localization Frameworks (SFLF) based on program
spectrum for estimation of statement suspiciousness have the problems that the feature type …
