Comment on "The application of error-sensitive testing strategies to debugging"

INTRODUCTIO N The subject p a p er [CLAR83] uses the p hrase "error-sensitive" an d includes the ESTCA p a p er [FOST80] in its references. The latter p a p e r uses the same p hrase to describe a different method. This commen t challen g es the claim that domain testin g is a "more p romisin g " erro r detection strate g y. Fiyures in the subject p a p er are referenced bu t not rep roduced. Therefore the comment cannot be verified without tha t p a p er at hand .
