Regression test case selection techniques attempt to increase the testing effectiveness
based on the measurement capabilities, such as cost, coverage, and fault detection. This …

Context Multiple fault localization (MFL) is the act of identifying the locations of multiple faults
(more than one fault) in a faulty software program. This is known to be more complicated …

The complexity and dynamism of microservice systems pose unique challenges to a variety
of software engineering tasks such as fault analysis and debugging. In spite of the …

Mutation testing realizes the idea of using artificial defects to support testing activities.
Mutation is typically used as a way to evaluate the adequacy of test suites, to guide the …

Most fault localization techniques take as input a faulty program, and produce as output a
ranked list of suspicious code locations at which the program may be defective. When …

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 …

Mutation testing introduces artificial defects to measure the adequacy of testing. In case
candidate tests can distinguish the behaviour of mutants from that of the original program …

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

The coverage of a test suite is often used as a proxy for its ability to detect faults. However,
previous studies that investigated the correlation between code coverage and test suite …

Mutation Testing is a fault-based software testing technique that has been widely studied for
over three decades. The literature on Mutation Testing has contributed a set of approaches …
