Variability Fault Localization by Abstract Interpretation and its Application to SPL Repair

Fault localization is an important step in software debugging that aims to isolate and localize the bugs (errors) to a small part of the program. This becomes more challenging in Software Product Lines (SPLs) due to the variable nature of bugs (so-called variability bugs). This paper introduces a novel variability fault localization algorithm for SPLs. Moreover, we present its practical application for automatic repair of variability bugs in SPLs.

Abstract

Fault localization is an important step in software debugging that aims to isolate and localize the bugs (errors) to a small part of the program. This becomes more challenging in Software Product Lines (SPLs) due to the variable nature of bugs (so-called variability bugs). This paper introduces a novel variability fault localization algorithm for SPLs. Moreover, we present its practical application for automatic repair of variability bugs in SPLs.
