variable sequence based fault localization

Introduction

• This project corresponds to the experiments and results in the paper VSBFL: variable sequence based fault localization (doi links will be added in the future).

• The link of dataset is here.

CppSnooper

• Call the function Snooper.get_cpp_variable_sequence(file_path, test_dir_path), and the returned parameter is the corresponding variable value sequences. where file_path is the code path and test_dir_path is the test case suite path.

How To Use

• In the file benmark.py, call the function run_dir(file_dir_path, pair_info, test_dir_path) to start the experiment, note that you need to change the corresponding parameters.

• parameter pair_info is the matching relationship between correct programs and faulty programs, which can be obtained by function find_pair_by_tag or find_pair_by_res. The difference is that find_pair_by_tag is the pairing relationship given by the dataset, while find_pair_by_res is the pairing relationship given by the method in this paper.

• The experimental results are saved in the path set by the parameter res_file_temp, and this excel file needs to be created by you first.

• If you want to count the experimental results, you can call the statistical_fl_results(file_path, tag_root_dir) function in the statistics.py file, where tag_root_dir is the error message we marked. Before you count the experimental results, please make sure that the first two worksheets in the excel file are blank.

Result

• The experimental results of this paper are saved in the folder result.
