Hi,
a first version of my Delta Debugging plug-in to automatically simplify an
input is available for download at
http://www.st.cs.uni-sb.de/eclipse/
The plug-in will analyze any failing JUnit test. If a test fails, the
plug-in will search for any opened resources in that test (i.e. it will
look, if a file is opened). If the contents of the file are responsible
for the failure, the plug-in will automatically determine the minimal
input that still causes the failure. So, suppose you have a large html
page that consists of thousands of lines. Of these lines, exactly one
causes your JUnit test to fail. The simplifying plug-in will automatically
determine that line -- without your interaction.
The plug-in is still very experimental, so I would appreciate your
opinions about it. Please give it a try -- hope you'll like it.
I tested the plug-in with Debian, RedHat and SuSE Linux and with Windows
XP using Eclipse 2.1 and the Sun Java SDK 1.4.1_02. All known bugs are
listed in the help section (after installing the plug-in).
I would like to thank all members of this newsgroup, who provided great
support and gave me invaluable hints during the process. Now it's my time
to give something back to you: Have fun using the plug-in (the source is
included).
