Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) One of the most tedious and time-consuming tasks of debugging is fault localization (FL), which is locating root cause of failure. In this paper, we propose a novel FL technique based on propagation probability of data dependency. We focus on the limitations of path identification in existence FL approaches. Our technique improve a capability to localize faults by propagating data dependencies among the statements transitively. We analyze data dependencies of each statement
from execution traces that include events of variables definition, updating and reference. We compute a probability of each data dependency propagation from passed runs. By comparing the propagation probability of a failed run, we rank the statements as suspicious statements. The result of a case study shows, the use of propagation probability can improve on existing FL techniques.
