Conditional Expression Fault Classification and Repair Method of Aviation Control Software

Abstract

Aviation control software has become the core control decision-making unit of the aviation system. The Boolean conditional expressions are the main parts of the branch and loop control logic of aviation control software. This paper studies the fault classification and repair method of conditional expression of aviation control software. 1) a two-level Boolean conditional expression fault classification method is proposed; 2) based on the design of mutation operator, repair solution and stop condition of mutation repair, an automatic repair method of conditional expression is proposed; 3) a repair assistant tool for conditional expression is designed and implemented, and 155 fault expressions are repaired. The results show that 55.5% of fault expressions can achieve accurate repair, 44.5% of fault expressions can generate multiple correct versions after a repair, and some versions have operation redundancy, so it is necessary to select the optimal version manually.
