Recently, Automatic Program Repair (APR) has shown a high capability of repairing software bugs automatically. In general, most of the APR techniques require test suites to validate automatically generated patches. However, the test suites used for p...
Automatic program repair (APR) is an effective technique for eliminating defects. The repair of null pointer dereferences, as the most common defects, requires accurate dependencies among statements to determine where to repair and how to repair. In...
In recent years, the advent of large language models (LLMs) has significantly advanced automatic program repair (APR). However, due to a lack of domain-specific software engineering knowledge, base LLMs are prone to hallucinations during the repair p...
Vulnerable-code auditing is critical within the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) as timely remediation reduces exploitation risks from sensitive-data exposure to full system compromise. Although Automatic Program Repair (APR) has advanced throu...
The substantial value held by smart contracts (SCs) makes them an enticing target for malicious attacks. The process of fixing vulnerabilities in SCs is intricate, primarily due to the immutability of blockchain technology. This research paper introd...
