Agile practices are receiving considerable attention from industry as an alternative to traditional software development approaches. However, there are a number of challenges in combining Agile [2] with Test-driven development (TDD) [10]…
Tracing just-in-time compilation is a popular compilation technique for the efficient implementation of dynamic languages, which is commonly used for JavaScript, Python and PHP. We provide a formal model of tracing JIT compilation of…
Open-source repositories provide wealth of information and are increasingly being used to build artificial intelligence (AI) based systems to solve problems in software engineering. Open-source repositories could be of varying quality…
The manual migration between different third-party libraries represents a challenge for software developers. Developers typically need to explore both libraries Application Programming Interfaces, along with reading their documentation, in…
Software reverse engineering is an essential task in software engineering and security, but it can be a challenging process, especially for adversarial artifacts. To address this challenge, we present STraceBERT, a novel approach that…
Software testing is one of the very important Quality Assurance (QA) components. A lot of researchers deal with the testing process in terms of tester motivation and how tests should or should not be written. However, it is not known from…
Complex systems are increasingly being viewed as distributed information processing systems, particularly in the domains of computational neuroscience, bioinformatics and Artificial Life. This trend has resulted in a strong uptake in the…
Fault localization has been determined as a major resource factor in the software development life cycle. Academic fault localization techniques are mostly unknown and unused in professional environments. Although manual debugging…
We present a comprehensive dataset of Java vulnerability-fixing commits (VFCs) to advance research in Java vulnerability analysis. Our dataset, derived from thousands of open-source Java projects on GitHub, comprises two variants: JavaVFC…
In the era of Big Code, when researchers seek to study an increasingly large number of repositories to support their findings, the data processing stage may require manipulating millions and more of records. In this work we focus on studies…
Developers that use version control systems can work in parallel with other developers and merge their versions afterwards. Sometimes these merges fail, demanding manual intervention to resolve conflicts. Some studies aim at analyzing the…
In the domain of Project Management, the sheer volume of data is a challenge that project managers continually have to deal with. Effectively steering projects from inception to completion requires handling of diverse information streams,…
Optimal path planning involves finding a feasible state sequence between a start and a goal that optimizes an objective. This process relies on heuristic functions to guide the search direction. While a robust function can improve search…
Background. Coping with the rapid growing complexity in contemporary software architecture, tracing has become an increasingly critical practice and been adopted widely by software engineers. By adopting tracing tools, practitioners are…
Today's distributed tracing frameworks are ill-equipped to troubleshoot rare edge-case requests. The crux of the problem is a trade-off between specificity and overhead. On the one hand, frameworks can indiscriminately select requests to…
Background: Open source software has an increasing importance in modern software development. However, there is also a growing concern on the sustainability of such projects, which are usually managed by a small number of developers,…
Git and GitHub are common tools for keeping track of multiple versions of data analytic content, which allow for more than one person to simultaneously work on a project. GitHub Classroom aims to provide a way for students to work on and…
Tracking statements in the commit history of a project is in many cases useful for supporting various software maintenance, comprehension, and evolution tasks. A high level of accuracy can facilitate the adoption of code tracking tools by…
Dealing with merge conflicts in version control systems is a challenging task for software developers. Resolving merge conflicts is a time-consuming and error-prone process, which distracts developers from important tasks. Recent work shows…
Folklore is often saying "The Java memory model is broken." Therefore, several approaches have proposed repairs, only to find new programs exhibiting unexpected, unintuitive behavior or the model forbidding standard compiler optimizations.…
