Abstract
Automatic Program Repair works by generating patches automatically to fix software bugs. This domain is very popular among the software engineering researchers as it helps the developers to mitigate tiresome debugging effort and increase productivity. This domain mostly focuses on how to develop better program repair techniques. However, a systematic literature review is needed to help the researchers for getting specific and scientific overview of this domain. This paper conducts a systematic literature review on 324 papers for analyzing the trendiness and associated factors of this domain. After that, this paper considers 16 papers to thoroughly review and states the evolution of automatic program repair. Hopefully, this study will be a valuable resource for the researchers of this domain.
