Debugging is arguably among the most difficult and extremely time consuming tasks of the software development life cycle. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that researchers have invested a considerable amount of effort in developing automated techniques and tools to support developers excel in these tasks. Despite the…

As Autonomous Driving Systems (ADS) progress towards commercial deployment, there is an increasing focus on ensuring their safety and reliability. While considerable research has been conducted on testing methods for detecting faults in ADS, very little attention has been paid to debugging in ADS. Debugging is an…

Motivated by experience in programming and in the teaching of programming, we make another assault on the longstanding problem of debugging. Having explored why debuggers are not used as widely as one might expect, especially in functional programming environments, we define the characteristics of a debugger which make…

'Christian Kästner'] Determining whether a configurable software system has a performance bug or it was misconfigured is often challenging. While there are numerous debugging techniques that can support developers in this task, there is limited empirical evidence of how useful the techniques are to address the actual…

Application Defects Authors: ['Maryam Arab' 'Jenny T. Liang' 'Valentina Hong' 'Thomas D. LaToza'] Effective debugging is a crucial aspect of software development, demanding a combination of problem-solving skills, expertise, and appropriate tools. Although previous research has studied the effective debugging…

'Xiankai Meng' 'Panpan Li' 'Lalit Chandra Saikia'] In an error-prone development process, the ability to localize faults is a crucial one. Generally speaking, detecting and repairing errant behavior at an early stage of the development cycle considerably reduces costs and development time. The debugging of the Verilog…

Software runs our modern day lives: our shopping, our transport and our medical devices. Hence, no citizen can escape the consequences of poor software engineering. A closely-aligned concern, which also touches every aspect of our lives, is cyber security. Software has to be developed with cybersecurity threats in…

Undergraduate Students Majoring in Computer Science Authors: ['Aoi Kanaya' 'Takuma Migo' 'Hiroaki Hashiura'] In software development, encountering bugs is inevitable. Therefore, it is desirable to have multiple means of bug fixing, so that, if a bug cannot be fixed with one method, it can be fixed using another. A…

Enhancing software quality remains a main objective for software developers and engineers, with a specific emphasis on improving software stability to increase user satisfaction. Developers must balance rigorous software testing with tight schedules and budgets. This often forces them to choose between quality and…

Many software reliability growth models (SRGMs) have been proposed in the literature to evaluate the remaining faults and software reliability. The probability of getting failure-free software within a specified period and environment is known as software reliability and is recognized as one of the essential aspects.…

The workflow management system Nextflow builds together with the nf-core community an essential ecosystem in Bioinformatics. However, ensuring the correctness and reliability of large and complex pipelines is challenging, since a unified and automated unit-style testing framework specific to Nextflow is still missing.…

Cross-project defect prediction (CPDP) is a significant way of defect identification in the project. In cross-project defect prediction, we extract knowledge from the source project and apply that learned knowledge to predict labels for the target project. However, the model performance can be affected by features that…
