- abstract = "This paper proposes a strategy for automatically fixing faults in a program by combining the processes of mutation and fault localization. Statements that are ranked in order of their suspiciousness of containing faults can then be mutated in the same order to produce possible fixes for the faulty program. The proposed strategy is evaluated against the seven benchmark programs of the Siemens suite and the Ant program. Results indicate that the strategy is effective at automatically suggesting fixes for faults without any human intervention.",
