The Application of the Most Similar Path Set Based on the Specified Invalid Path in Software Fault Location

Software fault location is a very complex problem. Many researchers at home and abroad have already started studying how to use the candidate path which is similar to the invalid path to find the fault location, and they have achieved some results. In this paper, based on existing researches, a method of using the path set which is the most similar to the specified invalid path to locate fault, and it has been proved through a concrete example that this approach can help to find fault where the error occurred.
