We introduce Bug-Injector, a system that automatically creates benchmarks for customized evaluation of static analysis tools. We share a benchmark generated using Bug-Injector and illustrate its efficacy by using it to evaluate the recall…

Modern communication platforms such as Gitter and Slack play an increasingly critical role in supporting software teamwork, especially in open source development.Conversations on such platforms often contain intensive, valuable information…

The modern software development landscape has seen a shift in focus toward mobile applications as smartphones and tablets near ubiquitous adoption. Due to this trend, the complexity of these "apps" has been increasing, making development…

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 severity prediction is important in software maintenance, because it helps the development teams to prioritize bugs that have a significant impact on the operation, stability and security of the system. In large software projects bug…

Bug Localization is the process of locating potential error-prone files or methods from a given bug report and source code. There is extensive research on bug localization in the literature that focuses on applying information retrieval…

Bug reports are vital for software maintenance that allow users to inform developers of the problems encountered while using the software. As such, researchers have committed considerable resources toward automating bug replay to expedite…

As software systems grow increasingly complex, ensuring security during development poses significant challenges. Traditional manual code audits are often expensive, time-intensive, and ill-suited for fast-paced workflows, while automated…

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…

Recent studies have shown that bugs can be categorized into intrinsic and extrinsic types. Intrinsic bugs can be backtracked to specific changes in the version control system (VCS), while extrinsic bugs originate from external changes to…

The exercise of detecting similar bug reports in bug tracking systems is known as duplicate bug report detection. Having prior knowledge of a bug report's existence reduces efforts put into debugging problems and identifying the root cause.…

The modern software development landscape has seen a shift in focus toward mobile applications as tablets and smartphones near ubiquitous adoption. Due to this trend, the complexity of these apps has been increasing, making development and…

Static bug detection tools help developers detect problems in the code, including bad programming practices and potential defects. Recent efforts to integrate static bug detectors in modern software development workflows, such as in code…

Bug fixing holds significant importance in software development and maintenance. Recent research has made substantial strides in exploring the potential of large language models (LLMs) for automatically resolving software bugs. However, a…

Patching severe security flaws in complex software remains a major challenge. While automated tools like fuzzers efficiently discover bugs, fixing deep-rooted low-level faults (e.g., use-after-free and memory corruption) still requires…

Deep learning has recently achieved initial success in program analysis tasks such as bug detection. Lacking real bugs, most existing works construct training and test data by injecting synthetic bugs into correct programs. Despite…

Questions and Answering forums such as Stack Overflow play an important role in supporting software developers in finding answers to queries related to issues such as software errors and bugs. However, searching through a large set of…

Bug reports are a popular target for natural language processing (NLP). However, bug reports often contain artifacts such as code snippets, log outputs and stack traces. These artifacts not only inflate the bug reports with noise, but often…

Toxicity in bug report discussions poses significant challenges to the collaborative dynamics of open-source software development. Bug reports are crucial for identifying and resolving defects, yet their inherently problem-focused nature…

Large language models (LLMs) have been widely adopted for synthetic data generation, significantly reducing annotation costs. However, most existing studies treat synthesis as a set of isolated tasks and overlook a more fundamental…
