Software fault datasets such as Defects4J provide for each individual fault its location and repair, but do not characterize the faults. Current classifications use the repairs as proxies, but these do not capture the intrinsic nature of…

In embedded control systems, the potential risks of software defects have been increasing because of software complexity which leads to, for example, timing related problems. These defects are rarely found by tests or simulations. To detect…

Engineers build large software systems for multiple architectures, operating systems, and configurations. A set of inconsistent or missing compiler flags generates code that catastrophically impacts the system's behavior. In the authors'…

As the complexity and size of software projects increases in real-world environments, maintaining and creating maintainable and dependable code becomes harder and more costly. Refactoring is considered as a method for enhancing the internal…

Observability helps ensure the reliability and maintainability of cloud-native applications. As software architectures become increasingly distributed and subject to change, it becomes a greater challenge to diagnose system issues…

We examine the metrics that arise when a finite set of points is embedded in the real line, in such a way that the distance between each pair of points is at least 1. These metrics are closely related to some other known metrics in the…

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…

The nature and complexity of software have changed significantly in the last few decades. With the easy availability of computing power, deeper and broader applications are made. It has been extremely necessary to produce good quality…

All modern processors include a set of vector instructions. While this gives a tremendous boost to the performance, it requires a vectorized code that can take advantage of such instructions. As an ideal vectorization is hard to achieve in…

Automatic identification of the differences between two versions of a file is a common and basic task in several applications of mining code repositories. Git, a version control system, has a diff utility and users can select algorithms of…

Software Defect Prediction aims at predicting which software modules are the most probable to contain defects. The idea behind this approach is to save time during the development process by helping find bugs early. Defect Prediction models…

This paper introduces some tools from graph theory and distributed consensus algorithms to construct an optimal, yet robust, hierarchical information sharing structure for large-scale decision making and control problems. The proposed…

We adopt a component model based on object-oriented systems, introducing the concepts of components and their structure. A component consists of a dynamically changing set of connected objects. Only some of these objects are interface…

We demonstrate a modularity bug in the interface system of Java 8 on the practical example of a textbook design of a modular interface for vector spaces. Our example originates in our teaching of modular object-oriented design in Java 8 to…

Software defects are a major threat to the reliability of computer systems. The literature shows that more than 30% of bug reports submitted in large software projects are misclassified (i.e., are feature requests, or mistakes made by the…

Abstract: Failing test case reduction can promote efficient debugging because a developer may not need to observe components that are not relevant to inducing failure. Failing test case reduction can also improve the efficiency of fault…

Popular (re)use of third-party open-source software (OSS) is evidence of the impact of hosting repositories like maven on software development today. Updating libraries is crucial, with recent studies highlighting the associated…

With the rise of neural models across the field of information retrieval, numerous publications have incrementally pushed the envelope of performance for a multitude of IR tasks. However, these networks often sample data in random order,…

While CUDA has become a major parallel computing platform and programming model for general-purpose GPU computing, CUDA-induced bug patterns have not yet been well explored. In this paper, we conduct the first empirical study to reveal…

This study explores the effectiveness of graph neural networks (GNNs) for vulnerability detection in software code, utilizing a real-world dataset of Java vulnerability-fixing commits. The dataset's structure, based on the number of…
