*Result*: Automatic Analysis and Repair of Exception Bugs for Java Programs ; Analyse et réparation automatique des bugs liés aux exceptions dans les programmes Java

*The world is day by day more computerized. There is more and more software running everywhere, from personal computers to data servers, and inside most of the new popularized inventions such as connected watches or intelligent washing machines. All of those technologies use software applications to perform the services they are designed for. Unfortunately, the number of software errors grows with the number of software applications.In isolation, software errors are often annoyances, perhaps costing one person a few hours of work when their accounting application crashes. Multiply this loss across millions of people and consider that even scientific progress is delayed or derailed by software error: in aggregate, these errors are now costly to society as a whole.There exists two techniques to deal with those errors. Bug fixing consists in repairing errors. Resilience consists in giving an application the capability to remain functional despite the errors.This thesis focuses on bug fixing and resilience in the context of exceptions. Exceptions are programming language constructs for handling errors. They are implemented in most mainstream programming languages and widely used in practice.We specifically target two problems:Problem #1: There is a lack of debug information for the bugs related to exceptions. This hinders the bug fixing process. To make bug fixing of exceptions easier, we will propose techniques to enrich the debug information. Those techniques are fully automated and provide information about the cause and the handling possibilities of exceptions.Problem #2: There are unexpected exceptions at runtime for which there is no error-handling code. In other words, the resilience mechanisms against exceptions in the currently existing (and running) applications is insufficient. We propose resilience capabilities which correctly handle exceptions that were never foreseen at specification time neither encountered during development or testing.In this thesis, we aim at finding solutions to those problems.
