GZoltarAction: A Fault Localization Bot for GitHub Repositories
Hugo Paiva, José Campos, Rui Abreu · 2025
Despite the number of automatic fault localization tools available for different languages, finding the code responsible for a software failure is still performed manually. This paper presents GZoltarAction, an automated fault localization bot designed for GitHub repositories to assist developers in identifying software faults within a Continuous Integration (CI) environment. Leveraging Spectrum-Based Fault Localization (SBFL) via the GZoltar tool, GZoltarAction embeds tailored fault localization reports directly into pull requests or commits, enhancing developers' ability to debug efficiently. Our solution, available on the GitHub Marketplace, offers a practical and accessible tool for the open-source community, hopefully helping streamline automatic fault localization and reducing manual fault-finding efforts.
