Computation of Dynamic Program Slices for Unstructured Programs

A dynamic program slice is an executable part of the 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. The existing algorithms of ...
A Debugging Approach for Java Runtime Exceptions Based on Program Slicing and Stack Traces
QSIC '10: Proceedings of the 2010 10th International Conference on Quality Software

Program debugging is an important process to improve the quality of software. Runtime exception can occur often and can be difficult to debug. In this paper, we present a new approach for locating faults that cause runtime exceptions in Java programs ...
An efficient interprocedural dynamic slicing method

We present an efficient interprocedural dynamic slicing algorithm for structured programs. We first propose an intraprocedural dynamic slicing algorithm, and subsequently extend it to handle interprocedural calls. Our intraprocedural dynamic slicing ...
