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…
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…
Recent findings suggest that Information Retrieval (IR)-based bug localization techniques do not perform well if the bug report lacks rich structured information (eg relevant program entity names). Conversely, excessive structured…
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 an important aspect of software maintenance because it can locate modules that should be changed to fix a specific bug. Our previous study showed that the accuracy of the information retrieval (IR)-based bug localization…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Bug localization refers to the identification of source code files which is in a programming language and also responsible for the unexpected behavior of software using the bug report, which is a natural language. As bug localization is…
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…
Information Retrieval (IR) plays a pivotal role in diverse Software Engineering (SE) tasks, e.g., bug localization and triaging, code retrieval, requirements analysis, etc. The choice of similarity measure is the core component of an IR…
Context: IR-based bug localization is a classifier that assists developers in locating buggy source code entities (e.g., files and methods) based on the content of a bug report. Such IR-based classifiers have various parameters that can be…
Natural language elements in source code, e.g., the names of variables and functions, convey useful information. However, most existing bug detection tools ignore this information and therefore miss some classes of bugs. The few existing…
Bug localisation, the study of developing methods to localise the files requiring changes to resolve bugs, has been researched for a long time to develop methods capable of saving developers' time. Recently, researchers are starting to…
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…
Bug fixing is a complex and time-consuming task in software development. Bug localization research tends to focus on the accuracy of automated tools that suggest source code files for developers to look at. However, little is known about…
Software quality assurance remains a major challenge in industrial environments, where large-scale and long-lived systems inevitably accumulate defects. Identifying the location of a fault is often time-consuming and costly, particularly…
