Nowadays, development teams often rely on tools such as Jira or Bugzilla to manage backlogs of issues to be solved to develop or maintain software. Although they relate to many different concerns (e.g., bug fixing, new feature development,…

Knowledge-based systems reason over some knowledge base. Hence, an important issue for such systems is how to acquire the knowledge needed for their inference. This paper assesses active learning methods for acquiring knowledge for "static…

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…

False-positive bug reports represent a significant yet underexplored challenge in the development and maintenance of the Linux kernel. They occur when correct system behavior is mistakenly flagged as a defect, consuming developer effort…

Many users and contributors of large open-source projects report software defects or enhancement requests (known as bug reports) to the issue-tracking systems. However, they sometimes report issues that have already been reported. First,…

Automatically detecting software failures is an important task and a longstanding challenge. It requires finding failure-inducing test cases whose test input can trigger the software's fault, and constructing an automated oracle to detect…

Bug reports document unexpected behaviors in software, enabling developers to understand, validate, and fix bugs. Unfortunately, a significant portion of bug reports is of low quality, which poses challenges for developers in terms of…

Duplicate bug reports make up 42% of all reports in bug tracking systems (e.g., Bugzilla), causing significant maintenance overhead. Hence, detecting and resolving duplicate bug reports is essential for effective issue management.…

Bug reports, encompassing a wide range of bug types, are crucial for maintaining software quality. However, the increasing complexity and volume of bug reports pose a significant challenge in sole manual identification and assignment to the…

To support software developers in finding and fixing software bugs, several automated program repair techniques have been introduced. Given a test suite, standard methods usually either synthesize a repair, or navigate a search space of…

Many software bugs are reported manually, particularly bugs that manifest themselves visually in the user interface. End-users typically report these bugs via app reviewing websites, issue trackers, or in-app built-in bug reporting tools,…

Software defects are a major threat to the reliability of computer systems. The literature shows that more than 30% of bug reports submitted in large software projects are misclassified (i.e., are feature requests, or mistakes made by the…

This paper targets the problem of speech act detection in conversations about bug repair. We conduct a "Wizard of Oz" experiment with 30 professional programmers, in which the programmers fix bugs for two hours, and use a simulated virtual…

Software bugs in a production environment have an undesirable impact on quality of service, unplanned system downtime, and disruption in good customer experience, resulting in loss of revenue and reputation. Existing approaches to automated…

Modern automated accessibility testing tools for mobile applications have significantly improved the detection of interface violations, yet their impact on remediation remains limited. A key reason is that existing tools typically produce…

Researchers have investigated the bug bounty ecosystem from the lens of platforms, programs, and bug hunters. Understanding the perspectives of bug bounty report reviewers, especially those who historically lack a security background and…

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…

While many apps include built-in options to report bugs or request features, users still provide an increasing amount of feedback via social media, like Twitter. Compared to traditional issue trackers, the reporting process in social media…

Large open-source projects receive a large number of issues (known as bugs), including software defect (i.e., bug) reports and new feature requests from their user and developer communities at a fast rate. The often limited project…

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…
