Abstract
Tracking the location of program defects is an essential task for software maintenance and repair. When a bug report is submitted, bug localization is a costly task because of the developer's manual effort. Many researchers have tried to automate the task, but according to the reported results, the performance is still insufficient in practice. Therefore, in this study, we analyzed a large amount of bug report data and the latest research and found that the existing studies used only one preprocessing without considering the characteristics of the bug report. In this paper, to solve the problems mentioned earlier, we propose a pre/post-processing operator selection approach for bug localization.
