One of the most powerful features of R is its infrastructure for contributed code. The built-in package manager and complementary repositories provide a great system for development and exchange of code, and have played an important role in…
The rapid evolution in the fields of computer science, data science, and artificial intelligence has significantly transformed the utilisation of data for decision-making. Data visualisation plays a critical role in any work that involves…
As software systems grow in complexity, accurately identifying and managing dependencies among changes becomes increasingly critical. For instance, a change that leverages a function must depend on the change that introduces it.…
Links is a web programming language under development in Edinburgh aimed at simplifying web development. Conventional multi-tier applications involve programming in several languages for different layers, and the mismatches between these…
Resource leaks occur when a program fails to release a finite resource after it is no longer needed. These leaks are a significant cause of real-world crashes and performance issues. Given their critical impact on software performance and…
Software Engineering activities are information intensive. Research proposes Information Retrieval (IR) techniques to support engineers in their daily tasks, such as establishing and maintaining traceability links, fault identification, and…
Improvements of entity-relationship (E-R) search techniques have been hampered by a lack of test collections, particularly for complex queries involving multiple entities and relationships. In this paper we describe a method for generating…
Context: Contemporary code review tools are a popular choice for software quality assurance. Using these tools, reviewers are able to post a linkage between two patches during a review discussion. Large development teams that use a…
In software development, fixing bugs is an important task that is time consuming and cost-sensitive. While many approaches have been proposed to automatically detect and patch software code, the strategies are limited to a set of identified…
Just-in-time (JIT) compilers are used by many modern programming systems in order to improve performance. Bugs in JIT compilers provide exploitable security vulnerabilities and debugging them is difficult as they are large, complex, and…
Linking issue reports to the commits that resolve them is essential for software traceability, maintenance, and evolution. Accurate issue-commit links help developers to understand system changes and the rationale behind them. While…
Traceability links are key information sources for software developers, connecting software artifacts. Such links play an important role, particularly between contribution artifacts and their corresponding source code. Through these links,…
Background: Software companies must balance fast value delivery with quality, a trade-off that can introduce technical debt and potentially waste developers' time. As software systems evolve, technical debt tends to increase. However,…
Benchmarks of bugs are essential to empirically evaluate automatic program repair tools. In this paper, we present Bears, a project for collecting and storing bugs into an extensible bug benchmark for automatic repair studies in Java. The…
Empirical Software Engineering (ESE) researchers study (open-source) project issues and the comments and threads within to discover -- among others -- challenges developers face when incorporating new technologies, platforms, and…
As modern software development increasingly relies on reusable libraries and components, managing dependencies has become critical for ensuring software stability and security. However, challenges such as outdated dependencies, missed…
Due to the nature of most postgraduate theses in control engineering and their similarities to industrial and software engineering projects, invoking novel project control techniques could be effective. In recent decades, agile techniques…
Issue tracking systems serve as the primary tool for incorporating external users and customizing a software project to meet the users' requirements. However, the limited number of contributors and the challenge of identifying the best…
Lehman's Laws teach us that a software system will become progressively less satisfying to its users over time, unless it is continually adapted to meet new needs. A line of previous works sought to better understand software maintenance by…
Debugging of large software systems consisting of many processes accessing shared resources is a very difficult task. Many commercial systems record essential events during system execution for post-mortem analysis. However, the event…
