Comparing learning to rank techniques in hybrid bug localization.

Abstract

and context to understand the phrase of "bug/fault localization" in the title of a paper that indicates whether IR-based or spectrum-based approaches are used. 2.1.3. Hybrid bug localization Recent research on bug localization usually focuses on finding additional features such as version history [51,58], source code structure [2,47,50], dynamic analysis [20,30,42], and others, which could be used in ranking the relevant source-code entities. These approaches usually import one or more new features for IR-based bug localization to increase the performance. An emerging trend uses extra information in addition to textual similarity to help
