- This paper makes substantial, significant and novel contributions to a field of long ongoing interest. Contributions include novel insights into programming error severity and a new methodological approach. The research is rigorously carried out and presented, with clearly formulated novel methodology and extensive evaluation. Details, including algorithms, are published to ensure replication. The original approach differs substantially from past work, e.g. by including design of automated measurement of the time-to-fix of various types of error, leading to new insights. The high level of interest in this work started with a preliminary version presented at IEEE FIE 2014.
