Popis: | As new fault localization techniques arise for the purposes of minimizing the time that a developer must spend on debugging a software fault, more direct and streamlined tools are necessary for the implementation of these techniques. In this thesis, a new instrumentation application for collecting the values assigned to program variables in Java subject programs is proposed for use in conjunction with a recently developed fault localization technique based on causal inference. This instrumentation application is then compared to similar applications developed for the purposes of causal inference based fault localization – both in regard to their performance in fault localization and overall ease of use – using a set of Java subject programs on which this fault localization technique is applied. |
