Testing is the process of evaluating a system by manual or automated means. While
Regression Test Selection (RTS) discards test cases and Test Suite Minimization (TSM) …

Context: Software regression testing refers to rerunning test cases after the system under
test is modified, ascertaining that the changes have not (re-) introduced failures. Not all …

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

Developers often run tests to check that their latest changes to a code repository did not
break any previously working functionality. Ideally, any new test failures would indicate …

The 2019 edition of Stack Overflow developer survey highlights that, for the first time, Python
outperformed Java in terms of popularity. The gap between Python and Java further …

Hybrid fuzzing which combines fuzzing and concolic execution has become an advanced
technique for software vulnerability detection. Based on the observation that fuzzing and …

Localizing failure-inducing code is essential for software debugging. Manual fault
localization can be quite tedious, error-prone, and time-consuming. Therefore, a huge body …

Regression testing is crucial but can be extremely costly. Regression Test Selection (RTS)
aims to reduce regression testing cost by only selecting and running the tests that may be …

Test case prioritization (TCP) has been widely studied in regression testing, which aims to
optimize the execution order of test cases so as to detect more faults earlier. TCP has been …

Configuration changes are among the dominant causes of failures of large-scale software
system deployment. Given the velocity of configuration changes, typically at the scale of …
