[概念总结]Statistical Debugging

今天看文章的时候接触到这个词，不知道和Statistical Testing的关系是什么。这里总结一下，按照下面这篇文章：

P. A. Nainar, T. Chen, J. Rosin, and B. Liblit, "Statistical debugging using compound boolean predicates," in Proceedings of the 2007 international symposium on Software testing and analysis, London, United Kingdom, 2007, pp. 5-15.

的介绍，Statistical Debugging是指 "Statistical debugging uses dynamic instrumentation and machine learning to identify predicates on program state that are strongly predictive of program failure"

和Fault Localization相比，其实概念有接近之处，但是Statistical Debugging更加强调dynamic instrumentation和程序状态的确定，而Fault Localization更强调对具体造成Fail的语句的细粒度定位。

今天就简单记录一下。
