Description: From Practitioners for Researchers
How do professional software engineers debug computer programs? In an experiment with 27 real bugs that existed in several widely used programs, we invited 12 professional software engineers, who together spent one month on localizing, explaining, and fixing these bugs. This did not only allow us to study the various tools and strategies used to debug the same set of errors. We could also determine exactly which statements a developer would localize as faults, how a developer would diagnose and explain an e

In the following we provide the complete list of errors and their average debugging time, difficulty, and patch correctness, with human-generated explanations of the runtime actions leading to the error, and examples of correct and incorrect fixes, sorted according to average debugging time. For each error, we also provide the commit introducing the error, the simplified and original bug report, the fault locations, and the submitted and original patches.
