Fault density, fault types, and spectra-based fault localization

This paper presents multiple empirical experiments that investigate the impact of fault quantity and fault type on statistical, coverage-based fault localization techniques and fault-localization interference. Fault-localization interference is a ...
Spectrum-Based Fault Localization in Model Transformations

Model transformations play a cornerstone role in Model-Driven Engineering (MDE), as they provide the essential mechanisms for manipulating and transforming models. The correctness of software built using MDE techniques greatly relies on the correctness ...
Understanding the use of spectrum‐based fault localization
Summary
Developers spend significant time locating and fixing bugs, which is often performed manually. Although spectrum‐based fault localization (SFL) techniques aim at helping developers to locate faults, they are not yet used in practice. Recent ...

This paper presents a user study of spectrum‐based fault localization (SFL), showing that SFL can improve the developers' debugging effectiveness, leading them close to faulty code excerpts. SFL was well‐accepted by the participants of our study but ...
