Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus for automatic detection of software bugs are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a comparator to compare reference code to input code to detect a source code error in the input code; a graph generator to generate a graphical representation of the reference code or the input code, the graphical representation to identify non-overlapping code regions; and a root cause determiner to determine a root cause of the source code error in the input code, the root cause based on the non-overlapping code regions.
