Recent findings from a user study suggest that IR-based bug localization techniques do not perform well if the bug report lacks rich structured information such as relevant program entity names. On the contrary, excessive structured…
Bug localization remains a critical yet time-consuming challenge in large-scale software repositories. Traditional information retrieval-based bug localization (IRBL) methods rely on unchanged bug descriptions, which often contain noisy…
Locating bugs is an important, but effort-intensive and time-consuming task, when dealing with large-scale systems. To address this, Information Retrieval (IR) techniques are increasingly being used to suggest potential buggy source code…
Software bugs pose a significant challenge during development and maintenance, and practitioners spend nearly 50% of their time dealing with bugs. Many existing techniques adopt Information Retrieval (IR) to localize a reported bug using…
Information Retrieval-based Fault Localization (IRFL) techniques aim to identify source files containing the root causes of reported failures. While existing techniques excel in ranking source files, challenges persist in bug report…
Being light-weight and cost-effective, IR-based approaches for bug localization have shown promise in finding software bugs. However, the accuracy of these approaches heavily depends on their used bug reports. A significant number of bug…
Bug localization is a crucial aspect of software maintenance, running through the entire software lifecycle. Information retrieval-based bug localization (IRBL) identifies buggy code based on bug reports, expediting the bug resolution…
Despite decades of research, software bug localization remains challenging due to heterogeneous content and inherent ambiguities in bug reports. Existing methods, such as Information Retrieval (IR)-based approaches, often attempt to match…
Bug localization is a tedious activity in the bug fixing process in which a software developer tries to locate bugs in the source code described in a bug report. Since this process is time-consuming and requires additional knowledge about…
Bug localization (BL) from the bug report is the strategic activity of the software maintaining process. Because BL is a costly and tedious activity, BL techniques information retrieval-based and machine learning-based could aid software…
We explore the application of Information Retrieval (IR) based bug localization methods at a large industrial setting, Facebook. Facebook's code base evolves rapidly, with thousands of code changes being committed to a monolithic repository…
Many automated tasks in software maintenance rely on information retrieval techniques to identify specific information within unstructured data. Bug localization is such a typical task, where text in a bug report is analyzed to identify…
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…
During software maintenance and evolution, developers need to deal with a large number of change requests by modifying existing code or adding code into the system. An efficient tackling of change request calls for an accurate localising of…
Bug localization aims to reduce debugging time by recommending program elements that are relevant for a specific bug report. To date, researchers have primarily addressed this problem by applying different information retrieval techniques…
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…
Software bugs cost technology providers (e.g., AT&T) billions annually and cause developers to spend roughly 50% of their time on bug resolution. Traditional methods for bug localization often analyze the suspiciousness of code components…
One of the most important tasks related to managing bug reports is localizing the fault so that a fix can be applied. As such, prior work has aimed to automate this task of bug localization by formulating it as an information retrieval…
Today, software systems have a significant role in various domains among which are healthcare, entertainment, transport and logistics, and many more. It is only natural that with this increasing dependency on software, the number of…
Developers often spend much effort and resources to debug a program. To help the developers debug, numerous information retrieval (IR)-based and spectrum-based bug localization techniques have been devised. IR-based techniques process…
