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 adoption of agile approaches has put an increased emphasis on testing, resulting in
extensive test suites. These suites include a large number of tests, in which developers …

A good test suite is one that detects real faults. Because the set of faults in a program is
usually unknowable, this definition is not useful to practitioners who are creating test suites …

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 …

Effective debugging is crucial to producing reliable software. Manual debugging is
becoming prohibitively expensive, especially due to the growing size and complexity of …

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

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are becoming an integral part of most software systems.
Previous work has shown that DNNs have bugs. Unfortunately, existing debugging …

Finding and fixing bugs are time-consuming activities in software development. Spectrum-
based fault localization aims to identify the faulty position in source code based on the …

Fault-localization techniques that utilize information about all test cases in a test suite have
been presented. These techniques use various approaches to identify the likely faulty part …

We detect design patterns in legacy code combining static and dynamic analyses. The
analyses do not depend on coding or naming conventions. We classify potential pattern …
