To evaluate the effectiveness of execution slicing, dicing, and heuristic methods in locating software faults using failure-inducing test cases.
Developed a dedicated software tool capable of execution slicing and dicing driven by test case execution.
Conducted an empirical experiment applying heuristic techniques to isolate faults based on the behavioral characteristics of failing tests.
Heuristic techniques combined with execution slices effectively narrowed the search space to failure-inducing code statements.
Comparison between passing and failing execution traces facilitated the rapid localization of program bugs.
