Attempts to reduce the number of delivered faults in software are estimated to consume 50% to 80% of the development and maintenance effort [3]. Among the tasks required to reduce the number of delivered faults, debugging is one of the most time-consuming [2, 12], and locating the errors is the most dif.cult component of this debugging task (e.g., [13]). Clearly, techniques that can reduce the time required to locate faults can have a signi.cant impact on the cost and quality of software development and maintenance.
