This article presents a survey on automatic software repair. Automatic software repair
consists of automatically finding a solution to software bugs without human intervention. This …

Researchers have recently achieved significant advances in deep learning techniques,
which in turn has substantially advanced other research disciplines, such as natural …

We revisit the performance of template-based APR to build comprehensive knowledge
about the effectiveness of fix patterns, and to highlight the importance of complementary …

We propose Nopol, an approach to automatic repair of buggy conditional statements (ie, if-
then-else statements). This approach takes a buggy program as well as a test suite as input …

In the production environment, a large part of microservice failures are related to the
complex and dynamic interactions and runtime environments, such as those related to …

Software fault localization, the act of identifying the locations of faults in a program, is widely
recognized to be one of the most tedious, time consuming, and expensive-yet equally critical …

Due to the difficulty of repairing defect, many research efforts have been devoted into
automatic defect repair. Given a buggy program that fails some test cases, a typical …

The performance of fault localization techniques is critical to their adoption in practice. This
paper reports on an empirical study of a wide range of fault localization techniques on real …

Artificial intelligence models are becoming an integral part of modern computing systems.
Just like software inevitably has bugs, models have bugs too, leading to poor classification …

Coverage-based fault localization has been extensively studied in the literature due to its
effectiveness and lightweightness for real-world systems. However, existing techniques …
