Predictive models are one of the most important techniques that are widely applied in many
areas of software engineering. There have been a large number of primary studies that …

Technical debt is a metaphor to describe the situation in which long-term code quality is
traded for short-term goals in software projects. Recently, the concept of self-admitted …

The remarkable achievements of Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms, particularly in
Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL), have fueled their extensive deployment …

As software systems play an increasingly important role in our lives, their complexity
continues to increase. The increased complexity of software systems makes the assurance …

Effort-aware just-in-time (JIT) defect prediction aims at finding more defective software

Similar bugs are bugs that require handling of many common code files. Developers can
often fix similar bugs with a shorter time and a higher quality since they can focus on fewer …

As software becomes increasingly important, its quality becomes an increasingly important
issue. Therefore, prior work focused on software quality and proposed many prediction …

Bug reports play an important role in the process of debugging and fixing bugs. To reduce
the burden of bug report managers and facilitate the process of bug fixing, a great amount of …

Developers use bug reports to triage and fix bugs. When triaging a bug report, developers
must decide whether the bug report is valid (ie, a real bug). A large amount of bug reports …
