On the Effectiveness of Unified Debugging: An Extensive Study on 16 Program Repair Systems

This repository contains the dataset and scripts for On the Effectiveness of Unified Debugging: An Extensive Study on 16 Program Repair Systems - Automated Software Engineering (ASE'20).

1. Content

1.1 Data

  • ExperimentalData: The raw experimental dataset.
    • ProFL-[toolName]/[d4j-project]/: The data for each APR tool per project.

      • generalSusInfo.profl: Spectrum-based fault localization based on Ochiai and aggregation strategy. (Methods with zero suspiciousness are excluded and tied methods all receive worse rank).
      [MethodRank 1] | [Suspiciousness Score 1] | [MethodSignature 1]; 
      [MethodRank 2] | [Suspiciousness Score 2] | [MethodSignature 2];
      ...
      [MethodRank N] | [Suspiciousness Score N] | [MethodSignature N];
      
      • aggregatedSusInfo.profl: unified debugging fault localization. Patch caregory (i.e., CleanFix, NoisyFix, NoneFix, NegFix, or Unmodified) refers to the highest priority patch category associated with each method.
      [MethodRank 1] | [Suspiciousness Score 1] | Patch Category 1 | [MethodSignature 1];
      [MethodRank 2] | [Suspiciousness Score 2] | Patch Category 2 | [MethodSignature 2];
      ...
      [MethodRank N] | [Suspiciousness Score N] | Patch Category N | [MethodSignature N];
      
  • FaultyMethods: The ground truth of faulty methods per project.

Includes all scripts needed to reproduce results, table, and figures from the paper.

  • RQ1_1: Contains data and script to generate data corresponding to Figure 3.
  • RQ1_2: Contains the data and script to generate Figure 7.
  • RQ2: Contains the data and script to generate Figure 8.
  • RQ3: Contains the data and script to generate Figure 9.
  • RQ4_1: Contains the script to generate the result of UniDebug+ and UniDebug++.
  • RQ4_2: Contains the data and script to generate Figure 10.
  • RunFinalResult.sh: An all-in-one script to run other scripts. Described in Section 2.

The structure of this folder is as follows.

  • FinalResults: Final results generated from the scripts folder.
  • IntermediateResults: Intermediate results used to generate final results.
  • SBFLResults: Ground truth results from spectrum-based fault localization via Ochiai.

2. How to Reproduce Tables & Figures

2.1 Requirements

To run this repository please ensure your environment satisfies the following requirements.

  • Python 3
  • R with packages "ggpubr", "ggplot2", "reshape2", and "cowplot"

2.2 Commands

To recreate the paper's tables and figures, run the following command:

cd Scripts
bash RunFinalResult.sh $RQ

$RQ represents a research question and the results will be generated in Results/FinalResults. (Note See RQ4_1 for specific configurable parameters for RQ4_1. Running RQ4_1 will output UniDebug++ results from Table 5.) Output for different arguments of $RQ:

  • RQ1_1: RQ1_1.csv, corresponding to Figure 3.
  • RQ1_2: RQ1_2.pdf, corresponding to Figure 7.
  • RQ2: RQ2.pdf, corresponding to Figure 8.
  • RQ3: RQ3_*.pdf, corresponding to Figure 9.
  • RQ4_1: *.result files, corresponding to the specific combination of tools. Output generated in RQ4_1 instead of Results/FinalResults.
  • RQ4_2: RQ4_2.pdf, corresponding to Figure 10.

2.3 Configuring RQ4_1

Table 5's results can be reproduced with the main script AggreCombinePatch.py, generating the results of UniDebug+ and UniDebug++.

This file can be executed with the following command:

python AggreCombinePatch.py <Tool Combination File> [CleanFix | NoisyFix | NoneFix | NegFix]

After running such a command, a *.result file will be generated in Scripts/RQ4_1, describing the metrics for each combination.

The Tool Combination File is a file containing a line delimited list of attempted project combinations. A list of available names can be found in IndividualCombinations.txt. The supplied Tool Combination File should be located within the Scripts/RQ4_1/ directory.

The script's second argument represents which patch category Non-Modify code elements (methods which are unmodified by a repair tool) fall into.

Running the following command will reflect the UniDebug++ results in the ASE'20 paper and generate a GreedyTop1.txt.result file in Scripts/RQ4_1/.

python AggreCombinePatch.py GreedyTop1.txt NegFix

If you wish to obtain UniDebug+ results, instead of UniDebug++, you may provde a third argument as follows:

python AggreCombinePatch.py GreedyTop1.txt NegFix False

Running the following command will exhaustively attempt all combinations of the 16 repair tools and generate a ExhaustiveCombinations.txt.result file in Scripts/RQ4_1/, reflecting the UniDebug++ technique.

python AggreCombinePatch.py ExhaustiveCombinations.txt NegFix

**Note that each successful run of AggreCombinePatch.py appends data to the existing file. Thus, you may wish to clear or move the results after every run
