Summary :

Existing fault localization approaches usually do not provide a context for developers to understand the problem. Thus, this paper proposes a novel approach using the dynamic backward slicing technique to enrich contexts for existing approaches. Our empirical results show that our approach significantly outperforms five state-of-the-art fault localization techniques.
