In large software development projects, when a programmer is assigned a bug to fix, she
typically spends a lot of time searching (in an ad-hoc manner) for instances from the past …

Context: Crowdtesting is effective especially when it comes to the feedback on GUI systems,
or subjective opinions about features. Despite of this, we find crowdtesting reports are highly …

The large number of new bug reports received in bug repositories of software systems
makes their management a challenging task. Handling these reports manually is time …

The paper presents an approach that combines conceptual and evolutionary techniques to
support change impact analysis in source code. Information Retrieval (IR) is used to derive …

With the increasing number of software bugs, bug fixing plays an important role in software
development and maintenance. To improve the efficiency of bug resolution, developers …

This paper presents an approach to recognising the gender and expression of face images
by means of active appearance models (AAM). Features extracted by a trained AAM are …

Establishing API mappings between third-party libraries is a prerequisite step for library
migration tasks. Manually establishing API mappings is tedious due to the large number of …

The issue-tracking systems used by software projects contain issues, bugs, or tickets written
by a wide variety of bug reporters, with different levels of training and knowledge about the …

In this paper, we propose a semi-supervised text classification approach for bug triage to
avoid the deficiency of labeled bug reports in existing supervised approaches. This new …

Very often, source code lacks comments that adequately describe its behavior. In such
situations developers need to infer knowledge from the source code itself or to search for …
