Abstract

Fault localization is known to be tedious and expensive. To help practitioners reduce the needed effort, researchers have proposed many automated fault localization techniques over recent years. Spectrum-based fault localization techniques utilize the coverage data of test cases to localize faults. Although evaluations of these techniques show promising results, they are not being applied in practice yet. With this paper, we would like to stimulate discussions on challenges of operationalizing these techniques from a data-centric point of view. We describe the challenges we have encountered in our collaboration with industry. We also describe future plans.
