Week 9 (7/15 - 7/19)

This week, I knew what to do. My task is to finish this project with 160 cases. It is tedious, but this is part of the research.

Progress Update for this Week:

  • 7/15/2024
    • I resumed my work on fixing the failed patches. The progress was steady, and I began to develop a more systematic approach to this task. I felt that for every patch that I fixed, I learned something valuable.
  • 7/16/2024
    • During the group meeting, I shared my latest findings with Dr. Ghanbari, and he confirmed that I was on the right track. With his feedback, I felt like I have a good control on this task. I anticipated that I would complete it by the end of the week.
  • 7/17/2024
    • To improve the efficiency of this task, I started grouping similar issues together, which helped me address them more effectively. This method not only saved time but also provided deeper insights into common patterns of failure.
  • 7/18/2024
    • I analyzed some cases where the patches were applied but failed their tests, and I found that the patch modifications on the source file were fundamentally incorrect. As a conclusion, I recommended Dr. Ghanbari to discard these patches, as they did not provide the correct fixes.
  • 7/19/2024
    • Continued to work on the patches with a focus on ensuring that they passed all the tests. I anticipated that I can finish this task in 2 days.
