Erratum: Leveraging Flexible Tree Matching to Repair Broken Locators in Web Automation Scripts
Sacha Brisset, Romain Rouvoy, Lionel Seinturier +1
Web applications are constantly evolving to integrate new features and fix reported bugs. Even an imperceptible change can sometimes entail significant modifications of the Documen…
Repairnator patches programs automatically
Martin Monperrus, Simon Urli, Thomas Durieux +3
Repairnator is a bot. It constantly monitors software bugs discovered during continuous integration of open-source software and tries to fix them automatically. If it succeeds in s…
Dynamic Patch Generation for Null Pointer Exceptions using Metaprogramming
Thomas Durieux, Benoit Cornu, Lionel Seinturier +1
Null pointer exceptions (NPE) are the number one cause of uncaught crashing exceptions in production. In this paper, we aim at exploring the search space of possible patches for nu…
How to Design a Program Repair Bot? Insights from the Repairnator Project
Simon Urli, Zhongxing Yu, Lionel Seinturier +1
Program repair research has made tremendous progress over the last few years, and software development bots are now being invented to help developers gain productivity. In this pap…
Human-competitive Patches in Automatic Program Repair with Repairnator
Martin Monperrus, Simon Urli, Thomas Durieux +3
Repairnator is a bot. It constantly monitors software bugs discovered during continuous integration of open-source software and tries to fix them automatically. If it succeeds to s…
Characterizing the Usage, Evolution and Impact of Java Annotations in Practice
Zhongxing Yu, Chenggang Bai, Lionel Seinturier +1
Annotations have been formally introduced into Java since Java 5. Since then, annotations have been widely used by the Java community for different purposes, such as compiler guida…
NPEFix: Automatic Runtime Repair of Null Pointer Exceptions in Java
Benoit Cornu, Thomas Durieux, Lionel Seinturier +1
Null pointer exceptions, also known as null dereferences are the number one exceptions in the field. In this paper, we propose 9 alternative execution semantics when a null pointer…
Dynamic Analysis can be Improved with Automatic Test Suite Refactoring
Jifeng Xuan, Benoit Cornu, Matias Martinez +3
Context: Developers design test suites to automatically verify that software meets its expected behaviors. Many dynamic analysis techniques are performed on the exploitation of exe…
Casper: Debugging Null Dereferences with Dynamic Causality Traces
Benoit Cornu, Earl T. Barr, Lionel Seinturier +1
Fixing a software error requires understanding its root cause. In this paper, we introduce ''causality traces'', crafted execution traces augmented with the information needed to r…
