Abstract: The use of a program’s constraint representation for various purposes like testing and verification is not new. In this paper, we focus on the applicability of constraint representations to fault localization and discuss the underlying ideas. Given the source code of a program and a test case, which specifies the input parameters and the expected output, we are interested in localizing the root cause of the revealed misbehavior. We first show how programs can be compiled into their corresponding constraint representations. Based on the constraint representation we show how to compute root causes using constraint solver. Moreover, we discuss how the approach can be integrated with program assertions and unit tests.
