A New Approach of Fault Localization Using Value Replacement

We present a new method that bases on value replacement which considers both the control dependence and the data dependence. The key idea of value replacement is to see which program statements exercised during a failing run use values that can be altered so that the execution instead produces correct output. This approach is effective in locating statements that either faulty statements or directly effecting the faulty statements. Our approach also analyze the possibility of the statements that are faulty, this can be applied to more areas.
