Abstract
Real software is buggy. Real users can make it better. Cooperative Bug Isolation (CBI) seeks to leverage the huge amount of computation done by the end users of software. By gathering a little bit of information from every run of a program performed by its user community, we are able to make inferences automatically about the causes of bugs encountered in the field.
Keywords

These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
There are no significant bugs in our released software that any significant number of users want fixed.
