Item A unified framework for declarative debugging and testing(2020) Tamarit, Salvador; Caballero Roldán, Rafael; Riesco Rodríguez, Adrián; Martín Martín, EnriqueContext: Debugging is the most challenging and time consuming task in software development. However, it is not properly integrated in the software development cycle, because the result of so much effort is not available in further iterations of the cycle, and the debugging process itself does not benefit from the outcome of other phases such as testing. Objective: We propose to integrate debugging and testing within a single unified framework where each phase generates useful information for the other and the outcomes of each phase are reused. Method: We consider a declarative debugging setting that employs tests to automatically entail the validity of some subcomputations, thus decreasing the time and effort needed to find a bug. Additionally, the debugger stores as new tests the information collected from the user during the debugging phase. This information becomes part of the program test suite, and can be used in future debugging sessions, and also as regression tests. Results: We define a general framework where declarative debugging establishes a bidirectional collaboration with testing. The new setting preserves the properties of the underlying declarative debugging framework (weak completeness and soundness) while generating test cases that can be used later in other debugging sessions or even in other cycles of the software development. The proposed framework is general enough to be instantiated to very different programming languages: Erlang (functional), Java (imperative, object-oriented), and SQL (data query); and the experimental results obtained for Erlang programs validate the effectiveness of the framework. Conclusion: We propose a general unified framework for debugging and testing that simplifies each phase and maximizes the reusability of the outcomes in the different phases of the software development cycle, therefore reducing the overall effort.Item A core Erlang semantics for declarative debugging(Journal of Logical and Algebraic Methods in Programming, 2019) Martin-Martin, Enrique; Tamarit, Salvador; Riesco Rodríguez, Adrián; Caballero Roldán, RafaelOne of the main advantages of declarative languages is their clearly established formal semantics, that allows programmers to reason about the properties of programs and to establish the correctness of tools. In particular, declarative debugging is a technique that analyses the proof trees of computations to locate bugs in programs. However, in the case of commercial declarative languages such as the functional language Erlang, sometimes the semantics is only informally defined, and this precludes these possibilities. Moreover, defining semantics for these languages is far from trivial because they include complex features needed in real applications, such as concurrency. In this paper we define a semantics for Core Erlang, the intermediate language underlying Erlang programs. We focus on the problem of concurrency and show how a medium-sized-step calculus, that avoids the details of small-step semantics but still captures the most common program errors, can be used to define an algorithmic debugger that is sound and complete.
