Locating Source Code Bugs in Software Information Systems Using Information Retrieval Techniques

Bug localization is the process through which buggy source code files are located regarding a certain bug report. an overwhelming and time-consuming process. Automating key to help developers increase their productivities. Expanding reports with more semantic increasing software understanding using information retrieval natural language techniques will be way locate file, in report works as query search space. This research investigates effect of segmenting open into executable comments, they have conflicting nature, seeks synonyms on accuracy localization, examines “part-of-speech” reducing manual inspection for appropriate synonyms. aims approve that such methods improve tasks. The used approach was evaluated three Java software, namely Eclipse 3.1, AspectJ 1.0, SWT 3.1; we implement our dedicated tool adopt methodology conduct several experiments each software. experimental results reveal considerable improvement recall precision levels, developed display 4–10% compared state-of-the-art approaches.
