Short Bio: Dr Lee Hua Jie (Jason) received his Bachelor of Information Technology (HONS.) majoring in Software Engineering from the Multimedia University, in 2005. He started working in the software industry as a Software Engineer and Software Validation Engineer with Motorola Technology and iWOW Pty. Ltd. respectively. In 2007, he was offered the International Postgraduate Research Scholarship (IPRS) from DEEWR to do his PhD in the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering, the University of Melbourne. His research interests include spectral debugging, which uses test coverage information to help programmers locate bugs effectively. He has been working with DOLBY LABS AUSTRALIA since July 2011 as a Senior Software Test Engineer. He has been heavily involved in the development of test automation framework for several embedded audio projects. He has been leading QA effort for several audio projects. He is still actively pursuing research in his free time and contributes to the research field as program committee and technical reviewer for international conferences (IWESEP 2010, IWESEP 2011, COMPSAC 2012, APSEC 2012, TAIC PART 2013, ASWEC 2013) and Advances in Software Engineering journal.

Abstract: This tutorial reviews the literature of software bug localization using dynamic analysis. Several studies have proposed different approaches to locate bugs by exploiting the information of test coverage, which is also better known as program spectra. Other studies deploy statistical methods together with the test coverage information in order to locate bugs. In this tutorial, the presenter will also describe the recent trend and direction of locating bugs using dynamic analysis with machine learning techniques.
