abstract = "Search-based program repair generates variants of a
defective program to find its repair. This could reduce
the time and effort necessary for the manual software
development and maintenance. However, applying even a
limited set of mutations on a small piece of code (that
repairs only trivial defects) generates a huge number
of possible program variants (also called a search
space). The reduction of the search space, while
preserving the number and quality of repairs, would
make these tools more efficient and practical.
We present an end-to-end repair tool for Java programs. It localises lines of source code that introduced a defect into the history of the program's development and applies a set of mutations targeting only these lines. In the reduced search space, our tool repaired defects covered by failing tests in an open-source Java program.",
