Yesterday, my program worked. Today, it does not. Why?
Andreas Zeller has an interesting paper. Abstract:
Imagine some program and a number of changes. If none of these changes is applied (`yesterday''), the program works. If all changes are applied (`today''), the program does not work. Which change is responsible for the failure? We present an efficient algorithm that determines the minimal set of failure-inducing changes. Our delta debugging prototype tracked down a single failure-inducing change from 178,000 changed GDB lines within a few hours.
