+  title: "Test Case Reduction: A Framework, Benchmark, and Comparative Study"
+  type: conference-paper
+  abstract: "Given a program that triggers a bug in a compiler (or other kind of language processor), the goal of
+    test case reduction is to cut away all code that is irrelevant for the bug, i.e., to generate a smaller program
+    that still induces the bug. Research has proposed several language-agnostic reduction techniques that automatically
+    reduce bug-inducing programs in arbitrary programming languages, but there is no large-scale, conclusive evaluation
+    of these algorithms yet. Furthermore, the development of new algorithms is hampered by the unavailability of
+    comparable implementations of previous techniques and of diverse test programs that trigger different bugs in real
+    compilers. To close these gaps and to foster future research in this area, this paper makes three contributions:
+    (1) A framework that includes efficient, fine-tuned implementations of 6 state-of-the-art reducers,
+    (2) a diverse benchmark that comprises 321 fuzzer-generated programs in two programming languages that trigger 110
+    different bugs in real compilers, and (3) a comparative study that builds upon our framework and benchmark and
+    compares the reduction techniques w.r.t. their effectiveness and efficiency. Our results show that there is no
+    reduction technique yet that performs best across all test cases and languages. Our framework and benchmark are
+    available online and we provide the necessary scripts and tools to replicate our study."
