Shibboleth: Hybrid Patch Correctness Assessment in Automated Program Repair

Ali Ghanbari, Andrian Marcus

Abstract

Test-based generate-and-validate automated program repair (APR) systems generate many patches that pass the test suite without fixing the bug. The generated patches must be manually inspected by the developers, a task that tends to be time-consuming, thereby diminishing the role of APR in reducing debugging costs.
