Abstract :
Software errors can potentially lead to disastrous consequences. Unfortunately, debugging software errors can be difficult and time-consuming. A comprehension oriented software fault location approach (COFL) is proposed in this paper to provide automated assistance in bug location. It not only locates program predicates predicting bugs, but also provides high efficiency demand-driven data flow and control flow analysis to help developers understand the causes and contexts of bugs.
