- Additional information
- The first test-driven program repair technique that introduced a cost function for patch generation. Demonstrated that a simple cost function based on syntactic distance helps to address the test-overfitting program, which is a major problem of test-driven program repair. Bridged the gap between program repair and formal error diagnosis. Was extended in future works by other groups (e.g. “S3: syntax- and semantic-guided repair ...” Le et.al. FSE’17, and “Qlose: Program Repair with Quantitative Objectives” D’Antoni et.al. CAV’16).
