Abstract Automated Program Repair (APR) has attracted significant attention from software
engineering research and practice communities in the last decade. Several teams have …

Patching is a common activity in software development. It is generally performed on a source
code base to address bugs or add new functionalities. In this context, given the recurrence of …

Bug benchmarks are used in development and evaluation of debugging approaches, eg
fault localization and automated repair. Quantitative performance comparison of different …

Issue tracking systems are commonly used in modern software development for collecting
feedback from users and developers. An ultimate automation target of software maintenance …

Abstract Context: Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) has been successfully used in the
literature to extract topics from software documents and support developers in various …

Given a bug report, bug localization technique can help developers automatically locate
potential buggy files. Information retrieval and deep learning approaches have been applied …

Bug localization is the automated process of finding the possible faulty files in a software
project. Bug localization allows developers to concentrate on vital files. Information retrieval …

To assist developers with debugging and analyzing bug reports, researchers have proposed
information retrieval-based bug localization (IRBL) approaches. IRBL approaches leverage …

Text Retrieval (TR)-based approaches for bug localization rely on formulating an initial
query based on the full text of a bug report. When the query fails to retrieve the buggy code …

Bug-related research, eg, fault localization, program repair, and software testing, relies
heavily on high-quality and large-scale software bug repositories. The importance of such …
