Abstract: Debugging is an essential part of software maintenance and evolution since it allows software developers to analyze program execution step by step. Understanding a program is required to fix potential flaws, alleviate bottlenecks, and implement new desired features. Thus, software developers spend a large percentage of their time validating and debugging software, resulting in high software maintenance and evolution cost. We aim to reduce this cost by providing a novel visual debugging tool to software developers to foster program comprehension during debugging. Our debugging tool visualizes program execution information graphically as an object diagram and is fully integrated into the popular Java development environment IntelliJ IDEA. Moreover, the object diagram allows interactions to explore program execution information in more detail. A demonstration of our tool is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lU_OgotweRk.

Multi-Task Program Error Repair and Explanatory Diagnosis [28.711745671275477]
We present a novel machine-learning approach for Multi-task Program Error Repair and Explanatory Diagnosis (mPRED) A pre-trained language model is used to encode the source code, and a downstream model is specifically designed to identify and repair errors. To aid in visualizing and analyzing the program structure, we use a graph neural network for program structure visualization.
