Abstract

In the previous work, we presented HDT for debugging logical errors in Java programs. The HDT locates an erroneous function at an execution tree using an algorithmic program debugging and locates a statement with errors in the erroneous function using a step-wise program debugging. It reduced the number of programmer debugging in Java programs. But the HDT still increases the number of debugging because the size of the recent programs increases than the past programs and the number of methods is increasing. This paper proposes HDTS using a program slicing technique (PST) at the HDT. When programmers debug a Java program with HDTS, the PST can reduce the number of programmer debugging.
