Spectrum-based software fault localization: A survey of techniques, advances, and challenges
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 …

Threats to the validity and value of empirical assessments of the accuracy of coverage-based fault locators
F Steimann, M Frenkel, R Abreu - Proceedings of the 2013 International …, 2013 - dl.acm.org
Resuming past work on coverage-based fault localization, we find that empirical
assessments of its accuracy are subject to so many imponderables that they are of limited …

How well does test case prioritization integrate with statistical fault localization?
CONTEXT: Effective test case prioritization shortens the time to detect failures, and yet the
use of fewer test cases may compromise the effectiveness of subsequent fault localization …

A theoretical analysis on cloning the failed test cases to improve spectrum-based fault localization
Fault localization is the activity to locate faults in programs. Spectrum-based fault localization
(SBFL) is a class of techniques for it. It contrasts the code coverage achieved by passed runs …
