Effective prioritization of issue reports is crucial in software engineering to optimize resource allocation and address critical problems promptly. However, the manual classification of issue reports for prioritization is laborious and…

Automated program repair is a problem of finding a transformation (called a patch) of a given incorrect program that eliminates the observable failures. It has important applications such as providing debugging aids, automatically grading…

Fault identification and testing has always been the most specific concern in the field of software development. To identify and testify the bug we should be aware of the source of the failure or any unwanted issue. In this paper, we are…

Automated Program Repair (APR) is a task to automatically generate patches for the buggy code. However, most research focuses on generating correct patches while ignoring the consistency between the fixed code and the original buggy code.…

Regression testing activities greatly reduce the risk of faulty software release. However, the size of the test suites grows throughout the development process, resulting in time-consuming execution of the test suite and delayed feedback to…

Refactoring is a common practice in software development, aimed at improving the internal code structure in order to make it easier to understand and modify. Consequently, it is often assumed that refactoring makes the code less prone to…

Test-based automated program repair has been a prolific field of research in software engineering in the last decade. Many approaches have indeed been proposed, which leverage test suites as a weak, but affordable, approximation to program…

Programming errors that degrade the performance of systems are widespread, yet there is little tool support for analyzing these bugs. We present a method based on differential performance analysis---we find inputs for which the performance…

Bug reports are common artefacts in software development. They serve as the main channel for users to communicate to developers information about the issues that they encounter when using released versions of software programs. In the…

In this paper, we consider the problem of scheduling an application on a parallel computational platform. The application is a particular task graph, either a linear chain of tasks, or a set of independent tasks. The platform is made of…

Just-in-time defect prediction (JIT-DP) aims to predict the likelihood of code changes resulting in software defects at an early stage. Although code change metrics and semantic features have enhanced prediction accuracy, prior research has…

Recent advances in coding agents have shown remarkable progress in software issue resolution. In practice, real-world issues are typically bug fixes or feature requests in which human developers naturally incorporate refactoring as part of…

Most problems in search-based software engineering involve balancing conflicting objectives. Prior approaches to this task have required a large number of evaluations- making them very slow to execute and very hard to comprehend. To solve…

There is a rise in the need for efficient battery charging methods due to the high penetration of electromobility solutions. Battery swapping, a technique in which fully or partially depleted batteries are exchanged and then transported to…

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…

Bugs are inevitable in software development, and their reporting in open repositories can enhance software transparency and reliability assessment. This study aims to extract information from the issue tracking system Jira and proposes a…

The bug triaging process, an essential process of assigning bug reports to the most appropriate developers, is related closely to the quality and costs of software development. As manual bug assignment is a labor-intensive task, especially…

Regression testing of software is a crucial but time-consuming task, especially in the context of user interface (UI) testing where multiple microservices must be validated simultaneously. Test case prioritization (TCP) is a cost-efficient…

During the life cycle of software development, developers have to fix different kinds of bugs reported by testers or end users. The efficiency and effectiveness of fixing bugs have a huge impact on the reliability of the software as well as…

Serializability is a well-understood concurrency control mechanism that eases reasoning about highly-concurrent database programs. Unfortunately, enforcing serializability has a high-performance cost, especially on geographically…
