Many bug localization techniques rely on Text Retrieval (TR) models. The most successful
approaches have been proven to be the ones combining TR techniques with static analysis …

Text Retrieval (TR)-based approaches for bug localization rely on formulating an initial
query based on a bug report. Often, the query does not return the buggy software artifacts at …

Bug localization refers to the automated process of locating the potential buggy files for a
given bug report. To help developers focus their attention to those files is crucial. Several …

Localizing bugs is important, difficult, and expensive, especially for large software projects.
To address this problem, information retrieval (IR) based bug localization has increasingly …

Text retrieval (TR) techniques have been widely used to support concept and bug location.
When locating bugs, developers often formulate queries based on the bug descriptions …

The automated task of locating the potential buggy files in a software project given a bug
report is called bug localization. Bug localization helps developers focus on crucial files …

To deal with post-release bugs, many software projects set up public bug repositories for
users all over the world to report bugs that they have encountered. Recently, researchers …

A bug report is mainly used to find a fault location in software maintenance. It contains
several fields such as summary, description, status and version. The description field …

Recently, many information retrieval (IR) based bug localization approaches have been
proposed in the literature. These approaches use information retrieval techniques to process …

For a large and evolving software system, the project team could receive a large number of
bug reports. Locating the source code files that need to be changed in order to fix the bugs is …
