Using Topic Models to Explain Software Defects
•
1 recomendación•637 vistas
1. The document discusses using topic models to study defects in software systems. 2. Topic models are used to analyze source code files and group them into topics, some of which are found to be more defect-prone than others. 3. Metrics related to topic membership are able to better explain post-release defects compared to traditional static and historical metrics. This suggests topics can help identify areas of code more likely to contain defects.
