Abstract

AMPLE locates likely failure-causing classes by comparing method call sequences of passing and failing runs. A difference in method call sequences, such as multiple deallocation of the same resource, is likely to point to the erroneous class. In this paper, we describe the implementation of AMPLE as well as its evaluation.
