Nowadays, mobile applications are essential tools for everyday life, providing users with anytime, anywhere access to up-to-date information, communication, and entertainment. Needless to say, hardware limitations and the diverse needs of…

Conversational systems rely heavily on speech recognition to interpret and respond to user commands and queries. Despite progress on speech recognition accuracy, errors may still sometimes occur and can significantly affect the end-user…

With the popularity of cellular phones, events are often recorded by multiple devices from different locations and shared on social media. Several different recordings could be found for many events. Such recordings are usually noisy, where…

Identifying the root cause of a bug remains difficult for many developers because bug reports often lack a bug reproducing test case that reliably triggers the failure. Manually writing such test cases is time-consuming and requires…

Toxicity in bug report discussions poses significant challenges to the collaborative dynamics of open-source software development. Bug reports are crucial for identifying and resolving defects, yet their inherently problem-focused nature…

Recordings gathered with child-worn devices promised to revolutionize both fundamental and applied speech sciences by allowing the effortless capture of children's naturalistic speech environment and language production. This promise hinges…

Context: Many studies consider the relation between individual aspects of the software engineering process and bug-introduction, e.g., software testing and code review. These studies typically only identify correlations between their set of…

Software vulnerabilities are constantly being reported and exploited in software products, causing significant impacts on society. In recent years, the main approach to vulnerability detection, fuzzing, has been integrated into the…

A long-standing open challenge for automated program repair is the overfitting problem, which is caused by having insufficient or incomplete specifications to validate whether a generated patch is correct or not. Most available repair…

Detecting and fixing compatibility issues is critical for mobile game development. The rapid evolution of mobile operating systems and device fragmentation make it challenging for developers to timely address these issues across diverse…

The goal of this exploratory research is to investigate how glitches and bugs within video games affect a players overall experience. The severity or frequency of bugs, as well as the nature of the bugs present, could influence how the…

False-positive bug reports represent a significant yet underexplored challenge in the development and maintenance of the Linux kernel. They occur when correct system behavior is mistakenly flagged as a defect, consuming developer effort…

Software auditing is an increasingly critical task in the era of rapid code generation. While LLM-based auditors have demonstrated strong potential, their effectiveness remains limited by misalignment with the highly complex,…

Teaching is one of the most important factors affecting any education system. Many research efforts have been conducted to facilitate the presentation modes used by instructors in classrooms as well as provide means for students to review…

Understanding how software defects manifest and evolve in production environments is critical for improving reliability. While previous research has largely focused on pre-release defects, the nature of residual faults, i.e., those escaping…

Audio is a rich sensing modality that is useful for a variety of human activity recognition tasks. However, the ubiquitous nature of smartphones and smart speakers with always-on microphones has led to numerous privacy concerns and a lack…

The proliferation of mobile applications (apps) has made it crucial to ensure their accessibility for users with disabilities. However, there is a lack of research on the real-world challenges developers face in implementing mobile…

In this report analysis of a support chat log of a development team is shown. Developer support chat is used to provide internal support to other development teams. The report shows how a fundamental data analysis helped to identify gaps…

Audio signals can reveal intimate details about a person's life, including their conversations, health status, emotions, location, and personal preferences. Unauthorized access or misuse of this information can have profound personal and…

Current text-to-speech algorithms produce realistic fakes of human voices, making deepfake detection a much-needed area of research. While researchers have presented various techniques for detecting audio spoofs, it is often unclear exactly…
