Fault localization using forward slicing spectrum

Published: 01 October 2013 Publication History

Abstract

An increase in the cost incurred during manual software testing, debugging process and the requirement for reliable test data have forced the researchers to develop an automated system for software fault localization. We have proposed a forward slicing spectrum for fault localization. The proposed approach alleviates some of the core issues of standalone fault localization techniques such as program slicing and program spectrum based methods.
