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 …

This chapter describes traditional and intuitive fault localization techniques, including
program logging, assertions, breakpoints, and profiling. Many advanced fault localization …

During the evolution of a software system, a large number of bug reports are submitted.
Locating the source code files that need to be fixed to resolve the bugs is a challenging …

Spectrum‐based fault localization is a promising approach to automatically locate root
causes of failures quickly. Two well‐known spectrum‐based fault localization techniques …

During the evolution of a software system, a large number of bug reports are submitted.
Locating the source code files that need to be fixed to resolve the bugs is a challenging …

In the last two decades, a great amount of effort has been put in researching automated
debugging techniques to support developers in the debugging process. However, in a …

Spectrum-based fault localization refers to the process of identifying program units that are
buggy from two sets of execution traces: normal traces and faulty traces. These approaches …

Debugging is crucial for producing reliable software. One of the effective bug localization
techniques is spectral‐based fault localization (SBFL). It helps to locate a buggy statement …

Bug localization is the task of automatically locating suspicious commands in the source
code. Many automated bug localization approaches have been proposed for reducing costs …

In statistics and data mining communities, there have been many measures proposed to
gauge the strength of association between two variables of interest, such as odds ratio …
