Automatically describing software faults
Pages 711 - 714
Abstract
A developers ability to successfully debug a fault is directly related to their ability to comprehend the fault. Notwithstanding improvements in software-maintenance automation, this fault comprehension task remains largely manual and time consuming. I propose an automated approach to describe software faults, thus ameliorating comprehension and reducing manual effort. My approach leverages dynamic analysis, fault localization, and source-code mining to produce a succinct, natural-language fault summary.

Recommendations
Understanding the use of spectrum‐based fault localization
SummaryDevelopers 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 ...
A Framework for Assessing Dependability in Distributed Systems with Lightweight Fault Injectors
IPDS '00: Proceedings of the 4th International Computer Performance and Dependability SymposiumMany fault injection tools are available for dependability assessment. Although these tools are good at injecting a single fault model into a single system, they suffer from two main limitations for use in distributed systems: (1) no single tool is ...
Revisit of automatic debugging via human focus-tracking analysis
ICSE '16: Proceedings of the 38th International Conference on Software EngineeringIn many fields of software engineering, studies on human behavior have attracted a lot of attention; however, few such studies exist in automated debugging. Parnin and Orso conducted a pioneering study comparing the performance of programmers in ...
