Despite being one of the most basic tasks in software development, debugging is still
performed in a mostly manual way, leading to high cost and low performance. To address …

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 …

Tool support for automated fault localization in program debugging is limited because state-
of-the-art algorithms often fail to provide efficient help to the user. They usually offer a ranked …

Because debugging is a notoriously expensive activity, numerous automated debugging
techniques have been proposed in the literature. In the last ten years, statistical fault …

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 …

Fault localization is considered a difficult and time consuming activity. However, tool support
for automated fault localization is still limited because state-of-the-art algorithms often fail to …

In Spectrum Based Fault Localization, program elements such as statements or functions
are ranked according to a suspiciousness score which can guide the programmer in finding …

Summary javascript is a scripting language that plays a prominent role in web applications
today. It is dynamic, loosely typed and asynchronous and is extensively used to interact with …

CONTEXT: Existing fault-localization techniques combine various program features and
similarity coefficients with the aim of precisely assessing the similarities among the dynamic …

Abstract Spectrum-based Fault Localization (SBFL) uses the coverage of test cases and
their outcome (pass/fail) to predict the “suspiciousness” of program components, eg, lines of …
