Studies have estimated that, in industrial settings, developers spend between 30 and 90 percent of their time fixing bugs. As such, tools that assist in identifying the location of bugs provide value by reducing debugging costs. One such tool is BugLocator. This study initially aimed to determine if developers working on the Adobe Analytics product could use BugLocator. The initial results show that BugLocator achieves a similar accuracy on five of seven Adobe Analytics repositories and on open-source projects. However, these results do not meet the minimum applicability requirement deemed necessary by Adobe Analytics developers prior to possible adoption. Thus, …

Bug localization is a recurrent maintenance task in software development. It aims at identifying relevant code locations (e.g., code files) that must be inspected to fix bugs. When such bugs are reported by users, the localization process become often overwhelming as it is mostly a manual task due to incomplete and informal information (written in natural languages) available in bug reports. The research community has then invested in automated approaches, notably using Information Retrieval techniques. Unfortunately, reported performance in the literature is still limited for practical usage. Our key observation, after empirically investigating a large dataset of bug reports as …

Bug localization is the task of identifying parts of thesource code that needs to be changed to resolve a bug report.As this task is difficult, automatic bug localization tools havebeen proposed. The development and evaluation of these toolsrely on the availability of high-quality bug report datasets. In2014, Kochhar et al. identified three biases in datasets used toevaluate bug localization techniques: (1) misclassified bug report,(2) already localized bug report, and (3) incorrect ground truthfile in a bug report. They reported that already localized bugreports statistically significantly and substantially impact buglocalization results, and thus should be removed. However, theirevaluation is still limited, …
