This book was released on 2019 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As new fault localization techniques arise for the purposes of minimizing the time that a developer must spend on debugging a software fault, more direct and streamlined tools are necessary for the implementation of these techniques. In this thesis, a new instrumentation application for collecting the values assigned to program variables in Java subject programs is proposed for use in conjunction with a recently developed fault localization technique based on causal inference. This instrumentation application is then compared to similar applications developed for the purposes of causal inference based fault localization – both in regard to their performance in fault localization and overall ease of use – using a set of Java subject programs on which this fault localization technique is applied.

Download or read book Semi-automatic Fault Localization written by James Arthur Jones and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most expensive and time-consuming components of the debugging process is locating the errors or faults. To locate faults, developers must identify statements involved in failures and select suspicious statements that might contain faults. In practice, this localization is done by developers in a tedious and manual way, using only a single execution, targeting only one fault, and having a limited perspective into a large search space. The thesis of this research is that fault localization can be partially automated with the use of commonly available dynamic information gathered from test-case executions in a way that is effective, efficient, tolerant of test cases that pass but also execute the fault, and scalable to large programs that potentially contain multiple faults. The overall goal of this research is to develop effective and efficient fault localization techniques that scale to programs of large size and with multiple faults. There are three principle steps performed to reach this goal: (1) Develop practical techniques for locating suspicious regions in a program; (2) Develop techniques to partition test suites into smaller, specialized test suites to target specific faults; and (3) Evaluate the usefulness and cost of these techniques. In this dissertation, the difficulties and limitations of previous work in the area of fault-localization are explored. A technique, called Tarantula, is presented that addresses these difficulties. Empirical evaluation of the Tarantula technique shows that it is efficient and effective for many faults. The evaluation also demonstrates that the Tarantula technique can loose effectiveness as the number of faults increases. To address the loss of effectiveness for programs with multiple faults, supporting techniques have been developed and are presented. The empirical evaluation of these supporting techniques demonstrates that they can enable effective fault localization in the presence of multiple faults. A new mode of debugging, called parallel debugging, is developed and empirical evidence demonstrates that it can provide a savings in terms of both total expense and time to delivery. A prototype visualization is provided to display the fault-localization results as well as to provide a method to interact and explore those results. Finally, a study on the effects of the composition of test suites on fault-localization is presented.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Software systems are impacting every aspect of our daily lives, making software failures expensive, even life endangering. Despite rigorous testing, software bugs inevitably exist, especially in complex systems. Existing tools to aid debugging, such as tracing, profiling, and logging facilities, reveal the behavior of a program's execution; however, they require the developers to manually correlate the data to diagnose faults. This work is the first to introduce the Runtime State Model, a summarization of a program's behavior, for software anomaly detection and fault localization. A Runtime State Model is constructed from variables' value change events of an execution. It consists of a set of states, and state transitions, where a state is a set of variables with their current values, and a state transition is induced by a variable's value change. Comparisons between states from difference executions can be conducted to detect software anomalies. Deviations from the healthy states also help explain and locate faults in the source code. To automate this process, we implement Xtract, a facility that automatically extracts runtime traces from the Java Virtual Machines and constructs Runtime State Models for multiple simultaneous Java applications. Our evaluation provides evidence that Runtime State Models might be effective in detecting and locating injected faults to a RUBiS server with Xtract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Software products are increasingly employed in a wide range of areas where failu res may have serious consequences. Examples include medical applications, contro l systems, online banking systems, etc. As a result, tasks that aim at ensuring software reliability are extremely valuable. Among these, debugging is the proce ss of locating and correcting software errors. It is usually initiated when a pr ogram fails on one or more test cases. This process, and in particular fault loc alization, is considered to be one of the most difficult and time consuming thro ugh the development cycle. Consequently, automated fault localization techniques that reduce the search space for faulty code would significantly reduce develop ment costs. In this work we propose and investigate a new fault localization paradigm based on the notion of statement patterns. Provided with the execution traces of passi ng and failing runs, our technique searches for suspicious patterns using a gene tic algorithm and uses them to rank statements according to their likelihood of being faulty. We evaluated our approach using two benchmarks, the Siemens suite and NanoXML, and compared its accuracy with that of the Tarantula state-of-art t echnique. Our empirical results show that patterns better model the precondition s of failure than individual statements. Another major conclusion is that the ov erlap between the execution traces of the failing runs is likely to affect the p ercentage of suspicious patterns which might degrade the accuracy of the propose d technique in some cases.

Download or read book Improving Automated Fault Localization Using PageRank written by Mengshi Zhang and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manual debugging is notoriously tedious and time consuming. Therefore, various automated fault localization techniques have been proposed to help with manual debugging. Among the existing fault localization techniques, spectrum-based fault localization (SBFL) is one of the most widely studied techniques due to being lightweight. A focus of existing SBFL techniques is to consider how to differentiate program source code entities (i.e., one dimension in program spectra); indeed, this focus is aligned with the ultimate goal of finding the faulty lines of code. Our key insight is to enhance existing SBFL techniques by additionally considering how to differentiate tests (i.e., the other dimension in program spectra), which, to the best of our knowledge, has not been studied in prior work. We present PRFL, a lightweight technique that boosts spectrum-based fault localization by differentiating tests using PageRank algorithm. Given the original program spectrum information, PRFL uses PageRank to recompute the spectrum information by considering the contributions of different tests. Then, traditional SBFL techniques can be applied on the recomputed spectrum information to achieve more effective fault localization. Although simple and lightweight, PRFL has been demonstrated to outperform state-of-the-art SBFL techniques significantly (e.g., ranking 42% more real faults within Top-1 compared with the most effective traditional SBFL technique) with low overhead (e.g., around 2 minute average extra overhead on real faults) on 332 real faults from 5 Defects4J projects and 30692 artificial (i.e., mutation) faults from 87 GitHub projects, demonstrating a promising future for considering the contributions of different tests during fault localization.

This book was released on 2005-07-18 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 19th Annual Meeting of the European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming—ECOOP 2005—took place during the last week of July in Glasgow, Scotland, UK. This volume includes the refereed technical papers p- sented at the conference, and two invited papers. It is traditional to preface a volume of proceedings such as this with a note that emphasizes the importance of the conference in its respective ?eld. Although such self-evaluations should always be taken with a large grain of salt, ECOOP is undisputedly the pre- inent conference on object-orientation outside of the United States. In its turn, object-orientationis today’s principaltechnology not only for programming,but also for design, analysisand speci?cation of softwaresystems. As a consequence, ECOOP has expanded far beyond its roots in programming to encompass all of these areas of research—whichis why ECOOP has remained such an interesting conference. But ECOOP is more than an interesting conference. It is the nucleus of a technical and academic community, a community whose goals are the creation and dissemination of new knowledge. Chance meetings at ECOOP have helped to spawn collaborations that span the boundaries of our many subdisciplines, bring together researchers and practitioners, cross cultures, and reach from one side of the world to the other. The ubiquity of fast electronic communication has made maintaining these collaborations easier than we would have believed possible only a dozen years ago. But the role of conferences like ECOOP in establishing collaborations has not diminished.

Download or read book Systematic Techniques for More Effective Fault Localization and Program Repair written by Divya Gopinath and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Debugging faulty code is a tedious process that is often quite expensive and can require much manual effort. Developers typically perform debugging in two key steps: (1) fault localization, i.e., identifying the location of faulty line(s) of code; and (2) program repair, i.e., modifying the code to remove the fault(s). Automating debugging to reduce its cost has been the focus of a number of research projects during the last decade, which have introduced a variety of techniques. However, existing techniques suffer from two basic limitations. One, they lack accuracy to handle real programs. Two, they focus on automating only one of the two key steps, thereby leaving the other key step to the developer. Our thesis is that an approach that integrates systematic search based on state-of-the-art constraint solvers with techniques to analyze artifacts that describe application specific properties and behaviors, provides the basis for developing more effective debugging techniques. We focus on faults in programs that operate on structurally complex inputs, such as heap-allocated data or relational databases. Our approach lays the foundation for a unified framework for localization and repair of faults in programs. We embody our thesis in a suite of integrated techniques based on propositional satisfiability solving, correctness specifications analysis, test-spectra analysis, and rule-learning algorithms from machine learning, implement them as a prototype tool-set, and evaluate them using several subject programs.
