Abstract: Imagine some program and a number of changes. If none of these changes is applied ("yesterday"), the program works. If all changes are applied ("today"), the program does not work. Which change is responsible for the failure ? We present an efficient algorithm that determines the minimal set of failureinducing changes. Our delta debugging prototype tracked down a single failureinducing change from 178,000 changed GDB lines within a few hours. (Update)
