TLDR
This work investigates diagnostic accuracy as a function of several parameters (such as quality and quantity of the program spectra collected during the execution of the system) and shows that SFL can effectively be applied in the context of embedded software development in an industrial environment.About:

A Survey on Software Fault Localization
TL;DR: A comprehensive overview of a broad spectrum of fault localization techniques, each of which aims to streamline the fault localization process and make it more effective by attacking the problem in a unique way is provided.

Where should the bugs be fixed? - more accurate information retrieval-based bug localization based on bug reports
Jian Zhou,Hongyu Zhang,David Lo +2 more
TL;DR: The results show that BugLocator can effectively locate the files where the bugs should be fixed, and outperforms existing state-of-the-art bug localization methods.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Improving bug localization using structured information retrieval
TL;DR: This work provides a thorough grounding of IR-based bug localization research in fundamental IR theoretical and empirical knowledge and practice and presents BLUiR, which embodies this insight, requires only the source code and bug reports, and takes advantage of bug similarity data if available.

Evaluating and improving fault localization
Spencer Pearson,Jose Campos,René Just,Gordon Fraser,Rui Abreu,Michael D. Ernst,Deric Pang,Benjamin J. Keller +7 more
TL;DR: A design space is identified that includes many previously-studied fault localization techniques as well as hundreds of new techniques, and which factors in the design space are most important, using an overall set of 395 real faults.
Journal ArticleDOI
The DStar Method for Effective Software Fault Localization
TL;DR: A technique named DStar (D*) is proposed which can suggest suspicious locations for fault localization automatically without requiring any prior information on program structure or semantics and is found to be more effective at locating faults than all the other techniques it is compared to.

LLVM: a compilation framework for lifelong program analysis & transformation
Chris Lattner,Vikram Adve +1 more
TL;DR: The design of the LLVM representation and compiler framework is evaluated in three ways: the size and effectiveness of the representation, including the type information it provides; compiler performance for several interprocedural problems; and illustrative examples of the benefits LLVM provides for several challenging compiler problems.

Basic concepts and taxonomy of dependable and secure computing
TL;DR: The aim is to explicate a set of general concepts, of relevance across a wide range of situations and, therefore, helping communication and cooperation among a number of scientific and technical communities, including ones that are concentrating on particular types of system, of system failures, or of causes of systems failures.
Basic Concepts and Taxonomy of Dependable and Secure Computing
TL;DR: In this paper, the main definitions relating to dependability, a generic concept including a special case of such attributes as reliability, availability, safety, integrity, maintainability, etc.
