New Algorithms and Benchmarks for Supporting Spectrum-Based Fault Localization

Abstract

I never thought I would get this far... Until I started working as a BSc student at the Department of Software Engineering, I did not think about choosing a research career. I was always interested in new things and attracted by the joy of discovery, but a scientific career was a mystical world that seemed unattainable to me. Then, as I became more and more involved in research since 2012, it seemed that this is what I wanted to do. I liked that we examined a specific problem together from several aspects, tried to find a solution and if we succeeded, the team was happy with the result achieved. Of course, there were ups and downs, periods when the results did not come as we wanted, but there was always something (a new idea, a new challenge) or someone (one of my colleagues or my family) who pushed me through these stages.Complementing and motivating each other -I think I can say that we have achieved great success... Two people have influenced my research career so far the most: Tibor Gyimóthy and Árpád Beszédes. I would like to thank Tibor for offering me the opportunity to join the department's team. In the last lecture of the semester, he asked me if I would like to work for them. I really liked the idea, there was no question on my part whether I should go for it. This was the point where my thesis really began... I am grateful to Árpád for constantly being my mentor over the past decade. Without his professional and human support, this thesis would certainly not have been possible. I learned a lot (and am still learning) from him, for which I am very grateful.I thank the team for welcoming me so kindly and for being so patient and helpful when I joined them. I would also like to thank Tamás Gergely, Ferenc Horváth, Gergő Balogh, and Attila Szatmári, with whom I have worked for years and am still working. They are not only excellent colleagues but also excellent researchers who have continuously supported me during the research of the past years. Thanks for.And, of course, I thank my family and my girlfriend for supporting me and trusting me all the way, for creating the conditions for me to focus only on my studies. I can not thank them enough for that! THANK YOU!
