Regular expressions cause string-related bugs and open security vulnerabilities for DOS attacks. However, beyond ReDoS (Regular expression Denial of Service), little is known about the extent to which regular expression issues affect…
A Software Bill of Materials (SBoM) is a detailed inventory of all components, libraries, and modules in a software artifact, providing traceability throughout the software supply chain. With the increasing popularity of JavaScript in…
In collaborative software development, program merging is the mechanism to integrate changes from multiple programmers. Merge algorithms in modern version control systems report a conflict when changes interfere textually. Merge conflicts…
Comments within source code are essential for developers to comprehend the code's purpose and ensure its correct usage. However, as codebases evolve, maintaining an accurate alignment between the comments and the code becomes increasingly…
The two most significant bottlenecks in code merging are the build process and the unit tests. However, as the number of items to be checked in a code review increases, that code review becomes a bottleneck for code merging as well. Because…
Code review is a key development practice that contributes to improve software quality and to foster knowledge sharing among developers. However, code review usually takes time and demands detailed and time-consuming analysis of textual…
Peer code review locates common coding rule violations and simple logical errors in the early phases of software development, and thus reduces overall cost. However, in GitHub, identifying an appropriate code reviewer for a pull request is…
Machine learning models often need to adapt to new data after deployment due to structured or unstructured real-world dynamics. The Continual Learning (CL) framework enables continuous model adaptation, but most existing approaches either…
Compilers are a prime target for formal verification, since compiler bugs invalidate higher-level correctness guarantees, but compiler changes may become more labor-intensive to implement, if they must come with proof patches. One appealing…
Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) are widely adopted in software engineering practice. In reality, the CI/CD pipeline execution is not yet reliably continuous because it is often interrupted by Docker build…
Multilingual programming, which involves using multiple programming languages (PLs) in a single project, is increasingly common due to its benefits. However, it introduces cross-language bugs (CLBs), which arise from interactions between…
In search engines, query expansion (QE) is a crucial technique to improve search experience. Previous studies often rely on long-term search log mining, which leads to slow updates and is sub-optimal for time-sensitive news searches. In…
Assessing similarity in source code has gained significant attention in recent years due to its importance in software engineering tasks such as clone detection and code search and recommendation. This work presents a comparative analysis…
This study proposes a deep learning-based approach for discovering loops in programming code according to their potential for parallelization. Two genetic algorithm-based code generators were developed to produce two distinct types of code:…
Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) has garnered significant attention for its ability to scale up neural networks while utilizing the same or even fewer active parameters. However, MoE does not alleviate the massive memory requirements of networks,…
LLMs demonstrate significant potential across various software engineering tasks. However, they still face challenges in generating correct code on the first attempt when addressing complex requirements. Introducing a discriminator to…
Developing software to effectively take advantage of growth in parallel and distributed processing capacity poses significant challenges. Traditional programming techniques allow a user to assume that execution, message passing, and memory…
Continuous Software Engineering (CSE) is widely adopted in the industry, integrating practices such as Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD). Beyond technical aspects, CSE also encompasses business activities like…
About 40% of software bug reports are duplicates of one another, which pose a major overhead during software maintenance. Traditional techniques often focus on detecting duplicate bug reports that are textually similar. However, in bug…
Developers often use crash reports to understand the root cause of bugs. However, locating the buggy source code snippet from such information is a challenging task, mainly when the log database contains many crash reports. To mitigate this…
