For a given software bug report, identifying an appropriate developer who could potentially fix the bug is the primary task of a bug triaging process. A bug title (summary) and a detailed description is present in most of the bug tracking…
Software companies spend over 45 percent of cost in dealing with software bugs. An inevitable step of fixing bugs is bug triage, which aims to correctly assign a developer to a new bug. To decrease the time cost in manual work, text…
Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are used in a wide variety of applications. However, as in any software application, DNN-based apps are afflicted with bugs. Previous work observed that DNN bug fix patterns are different from traditional bug fix…
Deep Learning (DL) applications are being used to solve problems in critical domains (e.g., autonomous driving or medical diagnosis systems). Thus, developers need to debug their systems to ensure that the expected behavior is delivered.…
Multiple approaches have been proposed to automatically recommend potential developers who can address bug reports. These approaches are typically designed to work for any bug report submitted to any software project. However, we conjecture…
Providing feedback is an integral part of teaching. Most open online courses on programming make use of automated grading systems to support programming assignments and give real-time feedback. These systems usually rely on test results to…
More and more users and developers are using Issue Tracking Systems (ITSs) to report issues, including bugs, feature requests, enhancement suggestions, etc. Different information, however, is gathered from users when issues are reported on…
In large-scale software systems, there are often no fully-fledged bug reports with human-written descriptions when an error occurs. In this case, developers rely on stack traces, i.e., series of function calls that led to the error. Since…
Bug triage is an essential task in software maintenance phase. It assigns developers (fixers) to bug reports to fix them. This process is performed manually by a triager, who analyzes developers profiles and submitted bug reports to make…
Bug triage is an important step in the process of bug fixing. The goal of bug triage is to assign a new-coming bug to the correct potential developer. The existing bug triage approaches are based on machine learning algorithms, which build…
Most bug assignment approaches utilize text classification and information retrieval techniques. These approaches use the textual contents of bug reports to build recommendation models. The textual contents of bug reports are usually of…
Bug triage can be defined as the process of assigning a developer to a bug report. The duty of the bug triage team is to study the developers profiles well in order to make an appropriate match between the developers and the incoming bug…
Static analysis is one of the most widely adopted techniques to find software bugs before code is put in production. Designing and implementing effective and efficient static analyses is difficult and requires high expertise, which results…
Often, the first step in managing bug reports is related to triaging a bug to the appropriate developer who is best suited to understand, localize, and fix the target bug. Additionally, assigning a given bug to a particular part of a…
Bug tracking enables the monitoring and resolution of issues and bugs within organizations. Bug triaging, or assigning bugs to the owner(s) who will resolve them, is a critical component of this process because there are many incorrect…
We propose an automated approach to bug assignment to developers in large open-source software projects. This way, we assist human bug triagers who are in charge of finding the best developer with the right level of expertise in a…
Context: Given a bug report and source code of the project, bug localization can help developers to focus on fixing probable buggy files rather than searching the entire source code repository. While existing research uses information…
Resolving bugs in the maintenance phase of software is a complicated task. Bug assignment is one of the main tasks for resolving bugs. Some Bugs cannot be fixed properly without making design decisions and have to be assigned to designers,…
Bug triaging is a process to decide what to do with newly coming bug reports. In this paper, we have mined association rules for the prediction of bug assignee of a newly reported bug using different bug attributes, namely, severity,…
Context: Issue tracking systems are used to track and describe tasks in the development process, e.g., requested feature improvements or reported bugs. However, past research has shown that the reported issue types often do not match the…
