Precise Dynamic Slicing Algorithms

by Xiangyu Zhang, Rajiv Gupta - IEEE/ACM International Conference on Software Engineering , 2003
"... Dynamic slicing algorithms can greatly reduce the de-bugging effort by focusing the attention of the user on a rele-vant subset of program statements. In this paper we present the design and evaluation of three precise dynamic slicing algorithms called the full preprocessing (FP), no prepro-cessing ..."

Application of Dynamic Slicing in Program Debugging

by Bogdan Korel, Jurgen Rilling - In Proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Automatic Debugging (AADEBUG '97), Linkoping , 1997
"... A dynamic program slice is an executable part of a program whose behavior is identical, for the same program input, to that of the original program with respect to a variable(s) of interest at some execution position. In the existing dynamic slicing tools dynamic slices are represented in a textual ..."

Hierarchical dynamic slicing

by Tao Wang, Abhik Roychoudhury - in ACM International Symposium on Software Testing and Analysis (ISSTA , 2007
"... Dynamic slicing is a widely used technique for program analysis, debugging, and comprehension. However, the reported slice is often too large to be inspected by the programmer. In this work, we address this deficiency by hierarchically applying dynamic slicing at various levels of granularity. The b ..."

Dynamic Program Slicing

by Hiralal Agrawal, Joseph R. Horgan , 1990
"... The conventional notion of a program slice---the set of all statements that might affect the value of a variable occurrence---is totally independent of the program input values. Program debugging, however, involves analyzing the program behavior under the specific inputs that revealed the bug. In th ..."
Abstract - Cited by 415 (7 self) - Add to MetaCart
. In this paper we address the dynamic counterpart of the static slicing problem---finding all statements that really affected the value of a variable occurrence for the given program inputs. Several approaches for computing dynamic slices are examined. The notion of a Dynamic Dependence Graph and its use

A Survey of Program Slicing Techniques

by F. Tip - JOURNAL OF PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES , 1995
"... A program slice consists of the parts of a program that (potentially) affect the values computed at some point of interest, referred to as a slicing criterion. The task of computing program slices is called program slicing. The original definition of a program slice was presented by Weiser in 197 ..."
Abstract - Cited by 790 (10 self) - Add to MetaCart
in 1979. Since then, various slightly different notions of program slices have been proposed, as well as a number of methods to compute them. An important distinction is that between a static and a dynamic slice. The former notion is computed without making assumptions regarding a program's input

Abstract Pruning Dynamic Slices With Confidence

by Xiangyu Zhang, Neelam Gupta, Rajiv Gupta
"... Given an incorrect value produced during a failed program run (e.g., a wrong output value or a value that causes the program to crash), the backward dynamic slice of the value very frequently captures the faulty code responsible for producing the incorrect value. Although the dynamic slice often con ..."

Dynamic Slicing of Object-Oriented Programs

by Jianjun Zhao , 1998
"... Program slice has many applications such as program debugging, testing, maintenance, and complexity measurement. A static slice consists of all statements in program P that may affect the value of variable v at some point p, and a dynamic slice consists only of statements that influence the value of ..."

Dynamic Slicing on Java Bytecode Traces

"... Dynamic slicing is a well-known technique for program analysis, debugging and understanding. Given a program P and input I, it finds all program statements which directly/indirectly affect the values of some variables ’ occurrences when P is executed with I.
