Claire Le Goues, Associate Professor at Carnegie Mellon University discusses her area of research: automated program repair – the ability of programs to fix bugs in other programs.   Host Felienne spoke with Le Goues about how these techniques work. The techniques include: applying ‘sensible’ edits (moving blocks of code, adding null checks automatically) and then running tests to see if the change happens to solve the program. The show also covers: how program repair is being applied in industry, and what developers can do to make their code bases as suitable as possible for program repair tools.
