The task of finding the best developer to fix a bug is called bug triage. Most of the existing approaches consider the bug triage task as a classification problem, however, classification is not appropriate when the sets of classes change…

Bug reports play a critical role in software maintenance by helping users convey encountered issues to developers. Recently, GUI screen capture videos have gained popularity as a bug reporting artifact due to their ease of use and ability…

Bug reproduction is critical in the software debugging and repair process, yet the majority of bugs in open-source and industrial settings lack executable tests to reproduce them at the time they are reported, making diagnosis and…

Double-fetch bugs are a special type of race condition, where an unprivileged execution thread is able to change a memory location between the time-of-check and time-of-use of a privileged execution thread. If an unprivileged attacker…

Embedding-based retrieval (EBR) methods are widely used in modern recommender systems thanks to its simplicity and effectiveness. However, along the journey of deploying and iterating on EBR in production, we still identify some fundamental…

Most defects in mobile applications are visually observable on the device screen. To track these defects, users, testers, and developers must manually submit bug reports, especially in the absence of crashes. However, these reports are…

With the proliferation of multi-core hardware, parallel programs have become ubiquitous. These programs have their own type of bugs known as concurrency bugs and among them, data race bugs have been mostly in the focus of researchers over…

Developers often use crash reports to understand the root cause of bugs. However, locating the buggy source code snippet from such information is a challenging task, mainly when the log database contains many crash reports. To mitigate this…

Numerous efforts have been invested in improving the effectiveness of bug localization techniques, whereas little attention is paid to making these tools run more efficiently in continuously evolving software repositories. This paper first…

Collecting traces from software running in the field is both useful and challenging. Traces may indeed help revealing unexpected usage scenarios, detecting and reproducing failures, and building behavioral models that reflect how the…

Bug reports are vital for software maintenance that allow users to inform developers of the problems encountered while using the software. As such, researchers have committed considerable resources toward automating bug replay to expedite…

Efficient bug triaging procedures are an important precondition for successful collaborative software engineering projects. Triaging bugs can become a laborious task particularly in open source software (OSS) projects with a large base of…

Fixing bugs in a timely manner lowers various potential costs in software maintenance. However, manual bug fixing scheduling can be time-consuming, cumbersome, and error-prone. In this paper, we propose the Schedule and Dependency-aware Bug…

Bug bounty platforms (e.g., HackerOne, BugCrowd) leverage crowd-sourced vulnerability discovery to improve continuous coverage, reduce the cost of discovery, and serve as an integral complement to internal red teams. With the rise of…

Program repair is an integral part of every software system's life-cycle but can be extremely challenging. To date, researchers have proposed various automated program repair (APR) techniques to reduce efforts of manual debugging. However,…

A new style of temporal debugging is proposed. The new URDB debugger can employ such techniques as temporal search for finding an underlying fault that is causing a bug. This improves on the standard iterative debugging style, which…

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…

Exploring the impact of change requests applied to a software maintenance project helps to assess the fault-proneness of the change request to be handled further, which is perhaps a bug fix or even a new feature demand. In practice, the…

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is a powerful paradigm for improving large language models (LLMs) on knowledge-intensive question answering. Graph-based RAG (GraphRAG) leverages entity-relation graphs to support multi-hop reasoning,…

As software systems grow increasingly complex, ensuring security during development poses significant challenges. Traditional manual code audits are often expensive, time-intensive, and ill-suited for fast-paced workflows, while automated…
