Context-aware patch generation for better automated program repair

Ming Wen, Junjie Chen, Rongxin Wu, Dan Hao, Shing-Chi Cheung

Abstract

The effectiveness of search-based automated program repair is limited in the number of correct patches that can be successfully generated. There are two causes of such limitation. First, the search space does not contain the correct patch. Second, the search space is huge and therefore the correct patch cannot be generated (i.e., correct patches are either generated after incorrect plausible ones or not generated within the time budget).
