A method is described for automatically repairing legacy software at the assembly code level using evolutionary computation. The technique is demonstrated on Java byte code and x8...
Background: Gene duplication events have played a significant role in genome evolution, particularly in plants. Exhaustive searches for all members of a known gene family as well ...
—When a program is modified during software evolution, developers typically run the new version of the program against its existing test suite to validate that the changes made ...
Software modifications are often systematic—they consist of similar, but not identical, program changes to multiple contexts. Existing tools for systematic program transformati...
