title: "FailDiag: Selected Program Failure Diagnosis Benchmark"
abstract: >-
  FailDiag is a benchmark of 600 real C++ selected-failure diagnosis
  cases drawn from 110 introductory and data-structures programming
  tasks. Each case pairs a faulty student program with one selected expected-versus-observed
  failure, same-lineage repair evidence, and a structured diagnostic reference. The benchmark
  evaluates whether a diagnosis identifies the defect that explains the selected failure
  rather than any defect in the program.
