Evaluation of spectrum based fault localization tools
Archana, Ashutosh Agarwal · 2022
Software Fault localization (SFL) is the first step in any program debugging process. For more than three decades, researchers have aggressively studied, evaluated, and proposed numerous automatic SFL techniques spanning across various families of methods such as spectrum-based, slice-based, mutation-based, etc. Another facet contributed by researchers is the practical implementation of the above techniques in the form of open-source tools, IDE plugins, extensions, etc. Examples include (but are not limited to) GZoltzar, Jaguar, and iFL4Eclipse.
