abstract = {To minimize the cost of fixing bugs, they need to be
identified as soon as possible. Testing the system is
a means to detect such defects. However, when all the
tests are run, it is often difficult to locate the
precise error that causes a test to fail. We propose
to use change-oriented programming as a means to
detect bugs in a system while it is being developed.
Not only may this technique assists in detecting bugs
sooner, it can also be used to provide the developer
with fine-grained information about the places in the
program and test code that relate to the defect. We
believe that this will decrease the probability of
introducing bugs in a system and speed up the
detection of the bugs that do get in.},
