Modern software development involves multiple developers working remotely in a
distributed manner around the world. Software bugs are continuously generated for multiple …

Context: Inappropriate public disclosure of security bug reports (SBRs) is likely to attract
malicious attackers to invade software systems; hence being able to detect SBRs has …

Software development is a modular approach involving multiple developers and multi-
tasking teams working at different locations. A particular term in a software bug can belong …

Context: Identifying the root cause of a software bug and fixing it is challenging. One reason
for this is that many bugs are not reproducible during bug fixing. Objective: We aim to …

Automatic bug localization, ie, automatically locating potential buggy source files given a
bug report, plays an essential role in software engineering. For instance, bug localization …

Automatically localizing bugs is implemented to maximize the speed of the bug localizing
process and minimize the developer's burdens. However, the existing automatic bug …

Both software debugging and artificial intelligence techniques are hot topics in the current
field of software engineering. Debugging techniques, which comprise fault localization and …

As the impact of deep-learning-based software (DLSW) increases, automatic debugging
techniques for guaranteeing DLSW quality are becoming increasingly important. Information …

Context: Reducing the cost of maintenance tasks by fixing bugs automatically is the
cornerstone of Automated Program Repair (APR). To do this, automated Fault Localization …

Software bugs require developers to exert significant effort to identify and resolve them, often
consuming about one-third of their time. Bug localization, the process of pinpointing the …
