What is the effect of programming languages on software quality? This question has been a
topic of much debate for a very long time. In this study, we gather a very large data set from …

Regression testing is a crucial part of software development. It checks that software changes
do not break existing functionality. An important assumption of regression testing is that test …

There are increasing uses of deep learning (DL) compilers to generate optimized code,
boosting the runtime performance of DL models on specific hardware. Like their traditional …

Developers frequently use inefficient code sequences that could be fixed by simple patches.
These inefficient code sequences can cause significant performance degradation and …

The reality of multi-core hardware has made concurrent programs pervasive. Unfortunately,
writing correct concurrent programs is difficult. Addressing this challenge requires advances …

In software development, resources for quality assurance are limited by time and by cost. In
order to allocate resources effectively, managers need to rely on their experience backed by …

Many defect prediction techniques have been proposed. While they often take the author of
the code into consideration, none of these techniques build a separate prediction model for …

Significant interest in applying Deep Neural Network (DNN) has fueled the need to support
engineering of software that uses DNNs. Repairing software that uses DNNs is one such …

Where do most vulnerabilities occur in software? Our Vulture tool automatically mines
existing vulnerability databases and version archives to map past vulnerabilities to …

To design effective tools for detecting and recovering from software failures requires a deep
understanding of software bug characteristics. We study software bug characteristics by …
