In this paper, we propose a software reliability growth model (SRGM) based on the testing domain, which is isolated by the executed test cases. This model assumes an imperfect debugging environment in which new faults are introduced in the fault-correction process. We consider that the fault detection rate of NHPP model is changed in the proposed SRGM. We obtain the maximum likelihood estimate, and compare goodness-of-fit with another existing software reliability growth model.

The SRGM has been studied under the assumption that S/W reliability can grow as the fault causing failure is removed even during operational phase because the debugging is available. On the other hand, some papers insist on the uniform failure rate during operational phase because the debugging may not be available in case of universal software. The phenomenon, however, has been observed informally many times that the products S/W reliability grows as the time goes by even without any debugging in point of customer view. I propose the simple approaching method to model the S/W reliability phenomenon that the failure rate reduces as time goes on without modifying the existing reliability model in this paper.

Since ubiquitous embedded software is sensitive to the resources and environment of target system, it should be debugged in the same environment as actual target system. However, existing tools to debug embedded software, in which access to internal signal or resources is limited, are uneconomical. In the thesis, economical and practical USB-JTAG Adapter that can use open GDB is suggested. It can remove existing limitations of environment implementation that have many difficulties in implementing an environment for remote debugging. Hence, the thesis provides economical interfacing environment that can debug ubiquitous embedded software inside remote system.

In this paper, we proposed an efficient FPGA-based simulation acceleration method based on FPGA compilation avoidance, which can effectively decrease the long debugging turnaround time incurred from the every debugging process in the functional verification. The proposed method had been experimentally applied to the functional verification for a microcontroller design. It had clearly shown that the debugging turnaround time was greatly reduced while the high simulation speed of the simulation acceleration was still maintained.

Effective use of debugging in computer science education is a topic that has received little attention. Existing tools either are too overwhelming for the novice or are too basic and inflexible. Furthermore, the integration of the debugger into complex IDEs have unfamiliar debuggers from students, resulting in a harmful proliferation of console I/O. In this paper, a new stand-alone educational debugging tool is presented, with simple but powerful tools for easily observing and modifying program execution state. This tool is analyzed from an user perspective, and is compared with existing tools.

Today most students have a smartphone. Students learning numerical analysis can practice coding using their smartphone in the classroom without going to the computer lab. The tool NAPHP[1] makes it easy to practice coding using PHP in an internet web browser without installing a coding app on your smartphone. This paper introduces a debugging tool for the NAPHP.

As the technology of SoC design has been developed, the debugging is more and more important and users want a fast and reliable debugger. This paper deals with an implementation of the fast debugger which can reduce a debugging processing cycle by designing a modified JTAG suitable for a new RISC processor debugger. Designed JTAG is embedded to the OCD of Core-A and works with SW debugger. We confirmed the functions and reliability of the debugger. By comparing to the original JTAG system, the debugging processing cycle of the proposed JTAG is reduced at 8.5~72.2% by each debugging function. Further more, the gate count is reduced at 31.8%.

It is important to detect races for debugging shared-memoy parallel programs, because the races cause unintended nondeterministic program execution. Previous on-the-fly techniques to detect races can not guarantee the first race detection in nested parallel programs. Detecting the first race is important for debugging parallel programs, since the removal of the first race may make the next occurred races disappear. In this paper, we presents an on-the-fly detection technique to detect all of the first races through the reexecution of the debugged programs. We assume that the debugged parallel program may have one-way nested parallel programs. The number of reexecution is at the least the nesting depth of the program in the worst case. The space complexity is O(VT) and the time complexity to detect race in each access of access history is O(T), where V is number of shared variables and T is the maximum parallelism of the program. This efficiency of our technique in each execution is the same with the previous on-the-fly detection techniques. Therefore, this technique makes debugging parallel programs more effective and practical.

Detecting data races is important for debugging programs with OpenMP directives, because races result in unintended non-deterministic executions of the program. It is especially important to detect the first data races to occur for effective debugging, because the removal of such races may make other affected races disappear or appear. The previous tools for race detecting can not guarantee that detected races are the first races to occur. This paper suggests a tool what detects the first races to occur on the program with nested parallelism using the two-pass on-the-fly technique. To show functionality of this tool, we empirically compare with the previous tools using a set of the synthetic programs with OpenMP directives.
