Optimizing Mutation-Based Fault Localization Through Contribution-Based Test Case Reduction

Haifeng Wang,
Kun Yang,
Tong Wu

Abstract: Fault localization is an expensive phase of software debugging processes. Although Mutation-based Fault Localization (MBFL) is a promising technique, its computational cost remains high due to the extensive mutation executions involved in mutation analysis. Previous studies have primarily focused on reducing costs by decreasing the mutant numbers and optimizing the execution, yielding promising results. However, test case reduction has also proven to be effective in reducing costs in MBFL. In this paper, we pr… Show more
