specifically, the fault localization (i.e., locating the root cause of the problem) step is the real bottleneck in the entire process.
There are several attempts in academia to address this problem using automation techniques with relative success in experimental settings and for specific circumstances.
However, in reality, every bug is a case on its own, and there’s no single automated debugging technique that can be applicable to every situation.
This course introduces useful concepts that help create a
mindset that software developers can use to deal with difficult bugs.
