In this paper, we examine the impact of context switching, i.e., when developers must frequently shift their attention between different code parts (such as methods and classes) while going down the SBFL ranked list to find the faulty statement. The basis of our study is the observation that it requires less effort to investigate statements that are next to each other rather than those in different methods and classes. In particular, we analyse the number of visited methods and classes, as well as the frequency of switches between them during the fault localization process. We found that, in programs from the Defects4J benchmark, developers need to explore 40 methods and 12 classes on average, before finding the faulty statement, leading to 53 method- and 40 class switches, respectively. We introduce a novel context-aware metric that better approximates the total cost of finding a bug than traditional metrics that solely count the number of statements. Our metric considers both the statement number and the added cost of context switches. We also propose a new strategy for reducing the cost by optimizing the traversal of the elements in the ranked list based on the new context-aware metric. The algorithm not only lowers the number of statements that need to be investigated by 12% but also significantly reduces the number of class and method switches by 52%. true true 2024 true true true true true false GREEN 2026-05-24 true https://www.inf.u-szeged.hu/~beszedes/research/ease2024-14.pdf 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 3 3 Folyóiratcikk Journal Article 24 1 Könyvrészlet Chapter in Book 25 0 Könyv Book 23 0 Egyéb konferenciaközlemény Conference paper 31 0 Egyéb konferenciakötet Conference proceedings 32 0 Oltalmi formák Protection forms 26 0 Disszertáció Thesis 28 0 Egyéb Miscellaneous 29 0 Alkotás Achievement 22 0 Kutatási adat Research data 33 0 Folyóiratcikk Journal Article 24 0 0 0 Könyvrészlet Chapter in Book 25 0 0 0 Könyv Book 23 0 0 0 Egyéb konferenciaközlemény Conference paper 31 0 0 0 Egyéb konferenciakötet Conference proceedings 32 0 0 0 Oltalmi formák Protection forms 26 0 0 0 Disszertáció Thesis 28 0 0 0 Egyéb Miscellaneous 29 0 0 0 Alkotás Achievement 22 0 0 0 Kutatási adat Research data 33 0 0 0 2026 0 1 0 1 0 false 10010796,10022619 false false false 2024-06-26T11:25:29.009+0000 Szoftverfejlesztés Tanszék (SZTE / TTIK / INF) 4 17 1 5 0 true 728 true 10002 English /api/language/10002 Angol Language English true 2 false true 10367 true 10017 /api/country/10017 Country United States of America true 13 /api/city/10367 City New York City, United States of America true 870 true 26734814 /api/publicationidentifier/26734814 https://doi.org/10.1145/3661167 10.1145/3661167 PublicationIdentifier DOI: 10.1145/3661167 true 6 DOI https://doi.org/@@@ /api/publicationsource/6 DOI PlainSource DOI true true 10001 /api/publicationsourcetype/10001 PublicationSourceType DOI true true 6 true false true 26734815 /api/publicationidentifier/26734815 https://www.worldcat.org/search?q=isbn%3A9798400717017 9798400717017 PublicationIdentifier ISBN: 9798400717017 true 122 ISBN https://www.worldcat.org/search?q=isbn%3A@@@ /api/publicationsource/122 ISBN PlainSource ISBN true true 10002 /api/publicationsourcetype/10002 PublicationSourceType Egyéb true false 122 true false /api/publication/35073963 Association for Computing Machinery [ed.].
