T5C: Testing
- Bugfox targets regression debugging/testing by localising the root cause of regressions from execution traces.
T2B: Evolution
- Regression localisation is motivated by maintenance tasks when software evolves between versions.
T4B: Horizontal Transformation
- The approach instruments and transforms code to collect traces and compute differences between executions.
T5E: Empirical Evaluation
- Its effectiveness is supported by an empirical evaluation on real regression scenarios.
