Program slicing is a technique to extract program parts with respect to some special
computation. Since Weiser first proposed the notion of slicing in 1979, hundreds of papers …

In the production environment, a large part of microservice failures are related to the
complex and dynamic interactions and runtime environments, such as those related to …

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 …

A program slice consists of the parts of a program that (potentially) affect the values
computed at some point of interest. Such a point of interest is referred to as a slicing …

Spectrum-based fault localization shortens the test-diagnose-repair cycle by reducing the
debugging effort. As a light-weight automated diagnosis technique it can easily be …

Spectrum-based fault localization (SFL) shortens the test–diagnose–repair cycle by
reducing the debugging effort. As a light-weight automated diagnosis technique it can easily …

Computer systems often fail due to many factors such as software bugs or administrator
errors. Diagnosing such production run failures is an important but challenging task since it …

Inputs causing a program to fail are usually large and often contain information irrelevant to
the failure. It thus helps debugging to simplify program inputs. The Delta Debugging …

Locating faults in a program can be very time-consuming and arduous, and therefore, there
is an increased demand for automated techniques that can assist in the fault localization …
