Abstract Automated Program Repair (APR) has attracted significant attention from software
engineering research and practice communities in the last decade. Several teams have …

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 …

The effectiveness of search-based automated program repair is limited in the number of
correct patches that can be successfully generated. There are two causes of such limitation …

Fault Localization (FL), in which a developer seeks to identify which part of the code is
malfunctioning and needs to be fixed, is a recurring challenge in debugging. To reduce …

Given a program where none of our fuzzers finds any bugs, how do we know which fuzzer is
better? In practice, we often look to code coverage as a proxy measure of fuzzer …

Automated program repair is the problem of automatically fixing bugs in programs in order to
significantly reduce the debugging costs and improve the software quality. To address this …

Fault Localization (FL) aims to automatically localize buggy lines of code, a key first step in
many manual and automatic debugging tasks. Previous FL techniques assume the provision …

Properly benchmarking Automated Program Repair (APR) systems should contribute to the
development and adoption of the research outputs by practitioners. To that end, the research …

When working on techniques to address the wide-spread problem of software bugs, one
often faces the need for a large number of realistic bugs in real-world programs. Such bugs …

Issue tracking systems are commonly used in modern software development for collecting
feedback from users and developers. An ultimate automation target of software maintenance …
