Abstract In the course of the fourth industrial revolution manufacturing plants are becoming increasingly intelligent and companies have to face the challenge of this increasing information flow. At present, industry and research are striving to find a viable path to enable the vision of the intelligent factory of the future. A key challenge is information management in a highly networked factory, which is also typically networked with its entire supply chain.

Abstract In the past various spectrum-based fault localization (SBFL) algorithms have been developed to pinpoint a fault location given a set of failing and passing test executions. Most of the algorithms use similarity coefficients and have only been evaluated on established benchmark programs like the Siemens set or the space program from the Software-artifact Infrastructure Repository. In addition to that, SBFL has not been applied by developers in practice yet. This study evaluates the feasibility of applying SBFL to a real-world project, namely AspectJ.
