Abstract :
Regression faults are inevitably introduced in software development. Identifying and fixing regression faults can be tedious and time-consuming. The goal of my doctoral research is to provide an automated practical technique to effectively and efficiently locating failure-inducing changes. In this work, the research problem and related work is discussed first. Then, our approach, research questions, completed work and future work is presented. Finally, the expected contributions of my thesis are listed.
