LLM-Powered Fault Localization

LLM-Powered Fault Localization

A Multi-Agent Approach to Finding Software Bugs

This research introduces LLM4FL, an innovative multi-agent system that leverages large language models to identify software faults without requiring extensive training data.

  • Combines graph-based retrieval with LLMs to understand code context
  • Utilizes multiple specialized agents working together through a reflective process
  • Achieves superior fault localization accuracy compared to traditional statistical methods
  • Requires minimal computational resources while delivering enterprise-grade results

For software engineering teams, this approach offers a practical way to reduce debugging time and improve code quality with existing tools, potentially transforming how organizations approach quality assurance and maintenance.
