一句话：回顾获ISSTA 2021影响力奖的自动化调试用户研究，评估其影响并展望未来方向。
该论文是 ISSTA 2021 影响力论文奖演讲摘要，回顾 2011 年论文《Are Automated Debugging Techniques Actually Helping Programmers?》。原研究通过两项用户研究，考察开发者如何使用并从流行的自动化调试技术中获益，发现若干技术假设在实践中并不成立，并总结现有方法的局限及可能的改进方向。本演讲重新审视原论文及其前期工作，通过梳理自动化调试领域自论文发表以来的演进评估其影响力，最后反思当前技术水平，并讨论开放问题与未来研究方向。
The paper titled “Are Automated Debugging Techniques Actually Helping Programmers?” was published in the proceedings of the International Symposium on Software Testing and Analysis (ISSTA) in 2011, and has been selected to receive the ISSTA 2021 Impact Paper Award. The paper investigated, through two user studies, how developers used and benefited from popular automated debugging techniques. The results of the studies provided (1) evidence that several assumptions made by automated debugging techniques did not hold in practice and (2) insights on limitations of existing approaches and how these limitations could be addressed. In this talk, we revisit the original paper and the work that led to it. We then assess the impact of that research by reviewing how the area of automated debugging has evolved since the paper was published. Finally, we conclude the talk by reflecting on the current state of the art in this area and discussing open issues and potential directions for future work.
