Fault localization methods seek to identify faulty program statements based on the
information provided by the failing and passing test executions. Spectrum‐based methods …

We present MUSE (MUtation-baSEd fault localization technique), a new fault localization
technique based on mutation analysis. A key idea of MUSE is to identify a faulty statement …

Many fault localization techniques operate by crosscutting coverage information of passed
and failed test executions. Generally, their accuracy depends on the utilized coverage …

Programmers maintain and evolve their software in a variety of programming languages to
take advantage of various control/data abstractions and legacy libraries. The programming …

Automated program repair has attracted attention due to its potential to reduce debugging
cost. Prior works show the feasibility of automated repair, and the research focus is gradually …

Automating software testing activities can increase the quality and drastically decrease the
cost of software development. Toward this direction, various automated test data generation …

This paper proposes a strategy for automatically fixing faults in a program by combining the
ideas of mutation and fault localization. Statements ranked in order of their likelihood of …

Mutations are small, often token-level changes to program code, typically performed during
mutation testing for evaluating the quality of test suites. Recently, code mutations have come …

Odesenvolvimento de software baseado no paradigma Ori-entado a Objetos (OO) e
baseado em componentes é uma realidade. Este trabalho trata de teste e validaçao dentro …

Context: The programming language ecosystem has diversified over the last few decades.
Non-trivial programs are likely to be written in more than a single language to take …
