Delta assists you in minimizing "interesting" files subject to a test of
their interestingness. A common such situation is when attempting to
isolate a small failure-inducing substring of a large input that causes
your program to exhibit a bug.

Our implementation is based on the Delta Debugging algorithm. Andreas
wrote a book "Why Programs Fail" about debugging programs.

This work was supported by professors Alex Aiken and George Necula and was
done at UC Berkeley.
