Metallaxis-FL: mutation-based fault localization
Fault localization methods seek to identify faulty program statements based on the information provided by the failing and passing test executions. Spectrum-based methods are among the most popular ones and assist programmers by assigning suspiciousness values on program statements according to their probability of being faulty. This paper proposes Metallaxis, a fault localization approach base...
متن کاملUsing Mutation in Fault Localization
Fault localization is time-consuming and difficult, which makes it the bottleneck of the debugging progress. To help facilitate this task, there exist many fault localization techniques that help narrow down the region of the suspicious code in a program. Better accuracy in fault localization is achieved from heavy computation cost. Fault localization techniques that can effectively locate faul...
متن کاملAssessing and Comparing Mutation-based Fault Localization Techniques
Recent research demonstrated that mutation-based fault localization techniques are relatively accurate and practical. However, these methods have never been compared and have only been assessed with simple hand-seeded faults. Therefore, their actual practicality is questionable when it comes to real-wold faults. To deal with this limitation we asses and compare the two main mutation-based fault...
متن کاملFPA-FL: Incorporating Static Fault-proneness Analysis into Statistical Fault Localization
Despite the proven applicability of the statistical methods in automatic fault localization, these approaches are biased by data collected from different executions of the program. This biasness could result in unstable statistical models which may vary dependent on test data provided for trial executions of the program. To resolve the difficulty, in this article a new ‘fault-proneness’-aware s...
متن کاملBp Neural Network-Based Effective Fault Localization
In program debugging, fault localization identifies the exact locations of program faults. Finding these faults using an ad-hoc approach or based only on programmers’ intuitive guesswork can be very time consuming. A better way is to use a well-justified method, supported by case studies for its effectiveness, to automatically identify and prioritize suspicious code for an examination of possib...
