Do Bugs Propagate? An Empirical Analysis of Temporal Correlations Among Software Bugs

Authors: Xiaodong Gu, Yo-Sub Han, Sunghun Kim, and Hongyu Zhang

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 194, 35th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2021)

Abstract
The occurrences of bugs are not isolated events, rather they may interact, affect each other, and trigger other latent bugs. Identifying and understanding bug correlations could help developers localize bug origins, predict potential bugs, and design better architectures of software artifacts to prevent bug affection. Many studies in the defect prediction and fault localization literature implied the dependence and interactions between multiple bugs, but few of them explicitly investigate the correlations of bugs across time steps and how bugs affect each other. In this paper, we perform social network analysis on the temporal correlations between bugs across time steps on software artifact ties, i.e., software graphs. Adopted from the correlation analysis methodology in social networks, we construct software graphs of three artifact ties such as function calls and type hierarchy and then perform longitudinal logistic regressions of time-lag bug correlations on these graphs. Our experiments on four open-source projects suggest that bugs can propagate as observed on certain artifact tie graphs. Based on our findings, we propose a hybrid artifact tie graph, a synthesis of a few well-known software graphs, that exhibits a higher degree of bug propagation. Our findings shed light on research for better bug prediction and localization models and help developers to perform maintenance actions to prevent consequential bugs.

Automated Program Repair (Dagstuhl Seminar 17022)

Authors: Sunghun Kim, Claire Le Goues, Michael Pradel, and Abhik Roychoudhury

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 7, Issue 1 (2017)

Abstract
This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 17022 "Automated Program Repair". The seminar participants presented and discussed their research through formal and informal presentations. In particular, the seminar covered work related to search-based program repair, semantic program repair, and repair of non-functional properties. As a result of the seminar, several participants plan to launch various follow-up activities, such as a program repair competition, which would help to further establish and guide this young field of research.
