SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR A PROGRAM DEBUGGING FRAMEWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240134773 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR A PROGRAM DEBUGGING FRAMEWORK
The embodiments described in this patent application introduce a unified debugging framework that leverages a pretrained programming language model to assist with line-level debugging and repair.
- The debugging framework is designed to mimic the logical steps programmers take when debugging their code.
- It first identifies whether a function contains a bug and then localizes the problematic line for further investigation.
- The framework then provides a patch or repair to address the identified issue.
Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in software development environments to streamline the debugging process and improve code quality.
Problems Solved: - Simplifies and accelerates the debugging process for programmers. - Enhances the efficiency of identifying and resolving bugs in code.
Benefits: - Increases productivity by reducing the time spent on debugging. - Improves code quality by providing accurate and timely bug fixes.
Commercial Applications: This technology can be integrated into Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) to enhance the debugging capabilities of software developers, leading to more efficient and reliable software development processes.
Prior Art: There may be existing debugging tools and techniques in the field of software development, but the specific approach of adapting a pretrained programming language model for line-level debugging and repair may be novel.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in natural language processing and machine learning technologies that could further enhance the capabilities of this debugging framework.
Questions about the Unified Debugging Framework: 1. How does this debugging framework differ from traditional debugging tools? 2. What are the potential limitations or challenges of implementing this technology in real-world software development environments?
Original Abstract Submitted
embodiments described herein provide a unified debugging framework that adapts a pretrained programming language model for line-level debugging and repair. specifically, the debugging framework follow the logic of programmers on how to debug their code. for example, the debugging framework first determines whether or not a function is buggy. if it is buggy, the debugging framework localizes the problematic line and provide a patch (repair).
