It is often regarded as best-practice that the case the developer that writes a program, and the tester that tests the program, are different people. This supposedly allows unbiased testing. This separation is also motivated by economic reasons. As a result, the tester, especially in black-box testing, is oblivious to the underlying code. Thus, when a bug is found, the tester can only file a bu...

Duplicate bug reports are often unfavorable because they tend to take many man hours for being identified as duplicates, marked so and eventually discarded. In this time, no progress occurs on the program in question, and is justifiably an overhead which should be minimized. Considerable research has been carried out to alleviate this problem. Many methods have been proposed for bug report cate...

As the scale and complexity of software products increase, software maintenance on bug resolution has become a challenging work. In the process of software implementation, developers often use bug reports, source code and change history to help solve bugs. However, hundreds of bug reports are being submitted every day. It is time-consuming and effortless for developers to review all the bug rep...

Bug prediction is a technique used to estimate the most bug-prone entities in software systems. Bug prediction approaches vary in many design options, such as dependent variables, independent variables, and machine learning models. Choosing the right combination of design options to build an e↵ective bug predictor is hard. Previous studies do not consider this complexity and draw conclusions ba...

The Web has become an important knowledge source for resolving system installation problems and for working around software bugs. In particular, web-based bug tracking systems offer large archives of useful troubleshooting advice. However, searching bug tracking systems can be time consuming since generic search engines do not take advantage of the semi-structured knowledge recorded in bug trac...

Developers often spend much effort and resources to debug a program. To help the developers debug, numerous information retrieval (IR)-based and spectrum-based bug localization techniques have been devised. IR-based techniques process textual information in bug reports, while spectrum-based techniques process program spectra (i.e., a record of which program elements are executed for each test c...

The bed bug, (Cimex lectularius L.), is a difficult pest to control. Prevalence of insecticide resistance among bed bug populations and concerns over human-insecticide exposure has stimulated the development of alternative bed bug control materials. Many essential oil-based pesticides and detergent insecticides targeting bed bugs have been developed in recent years. We evaluated the efficacy of...

The bed bug, Cimex lectularius L., like other bed bug species, is difficult to visually locate because it is cryptic. Detector dogs are useful for locating bed bugs because they use olfaction rather than vision. Dogs were trained to detect the bed bug (as few as one adult male or female) and viable bed bug eggs (five, collected 5-6 d after feeding) by using a modified food and verbal reward sys...
