A bug repository that keeps growing, called growingBugs

Notably, each bug is composed of a buggy version, a fixed version, a concise patch (bug-fixing changes only), and one or more triggering test cases.

Contents of growingBugs

Setting up GrowingBugs

Requirements

• Java 1.8
• Git >= 1.9
• SVN >= 1.8
• Perl >= 5.0.12
• Curl

Steps to set up GrowingBugs

1. Clone GrowingBugs:

   • git clone https://github.com/liuhuigmail/GrowingBugRepository.git

2. Initialize GrowingBugs:

   Download the project repositories and external libraries that are not included in the git repository for size purposes and to avoid redundancies. We provide a mechanism to download them automatically as follows:

   • cd GrowingBugRepository
   • cpanm --installdeps .
   • ./init.sh
   • ./repos.sh

3. Add GrowingBugs's executables to your PATH:

   • export PATH=$PATH:"path2growingbugs"/framework/bin

Using GrowingBugs

1. Checkout a buggy source code version (If the project doesn't hava subproject, -s parameter can be ignored):

   • defects4j checkout -p project_id -v version_id -w work_dir -s subproject_name

   Example:

   • defects4j checkout -p Shiro_core -v 37b -w /tmp/Shiro_core_37_buggy -s core
   • defects4j checkout -p Dbutils -v 1b -w /tmp/dbutils_1_buggy

   Notably, GrowingBugs supports sub-projects that are not suported by Defects4J. To this end, yor should specify the sub-project with -s parameter in the checkout command. The preceding example common leverages -s core to check out sub-proejct core from the enclosing project Shiro_core. For the compile and test commands, you should also switch to the sub-project's folder to compile and test the sub-project.

2. Change to the working directory, compile sources and tests, and run tests:

   • cd work_dir/subproject_name
   • defects4j compile
   • defects4j test

   Example1：

   • cd /tmp/Shiro_core_37_buggy/core
   • defects4j compile
   • defects4j test

   Example2：

   • cd /tmp/dbutils_1_buggy
   • defects4j compile
   • defects4j test

Currently, we resuse all APIs of Defects4J (more details at https://github.com/rjust/defects4j), and thus all applications relying on Defects4J could be transferred smoothly to GrowingBugs.

GrowingBugRepository's docker image has been uploaded to Ali Cloud, you can use docker pull registry.cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/bit-zhuzhihao/growingbugrepository:0.2 to pull.

Copyright

Notably, this bug repository is based on the well-known Defects4J https://github.com/rjust/defects4j. We reuse its source code as well as the bugs in Defects4J. The key difference is that growingBugs levearages BugBuilder[1] to exclude bug-irrelevarange changes from bug-fixing commmits automatically whereas Defects4J requests human experts to accomplish the same task. Consequently, growingBugs can keep growing automatically even without human intervention.

Versions

Because the bug repository keeps growing, let us known if you need a stable version for your study (e.g., evalutions for a research paper), and we will release a specific version where the bugs and patches are fixed (to faciliate the replication of your study).
