What's Wrong with My Program
30Google Tech Talks

ABSTRACT
It's a question that has probably been asked by all of us.
Programs are rarely perfect; we often have to find out what's
wrong with them. Usually, the answer to the question involves
testing. In this talk, I will review some work that I, my
research team, and other researchers have done in the areas of
randomized unit testing, test effectiveness measurement and
automatic fault localization, all of which is intended to help
answer that plaintive question.
