Abstract:

This tutorial paper gives an overview of automated diagnosis applied to software faults. The emphasis is on a particular technique called spectrum-based fault localization, which is well-suited for diagnosing software systems, and which can easily be integrated with existing testing schemes. We discuss applications of the technique, including the specific application domain of embedded software, and provide pointers to recent research on factors that influence its diagnostic accuracy. In addition, we give instructions for quickly getting started with applying spectrum-based fault localization to existing projects.
