The lifecycle of defects reports and enhancement requests collected in the Bugzilla database of the GNOME project provides valuable information on the evolution of the change requ...
Many of the existing techniques for impact set computation in change propagation and regression testing are approximate for the sake of efficiency. A way to improve precision is ...
We present a method to detect and visualize evolution patterns in C++ source code. Our method consists of three steps. First, we extract an annotated syntax tree (AST) from each v...
