| contents | Techniques of Automatic Program Repair (APR) have the potential of thoroughly facilitating the task of producing quality software. After a promising start, however, progress in making APR practical has been hindered by the lack of a common framework to support the multiplicity of APR ideas and tools, and of target programming languages and environments.
In this position paper we outline a general framework to enable the APR community to benefit from each otherś advances, in particular through a standard language for describing bugs and their fixes. Such a common framework (which is also applicable to work on fault seeding) could be a tremendous benefit to researchers and developers of Interactive Development Environments (IDEs) who are working to make APR an effective part of the practical experience of software developers. |
