Empirical Data-Driven Bug Localisation in Software Development
RoleStart dateEnd dateFunding source
Co-investigator01 Jun 202131 Aug 2025Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd

In software engineering, developers must respond quickly to the change requests raised by product customers. For example, when a bug report arrives, developers need to locate relevant code to patch the bug. External to the product teams, however, customers can only describe the bug using their own (natural) language, with limited understanding of the software. Such a description may not reflect the developers’ rich experience and their deeper understanding of the software architecture, design, data structures, algorithms, etc. Hence substantial amount of time must be wasted on triaging, from a vast repository, where to start the investigation. It is like searching needles in a haystack [1]. To tackle this problem, existing work on bug localisation employs various heuristics in the natural language description of bugs and code to achieve state-of-the-art performance on information retrieval metrics, such as precision/recall and top-K [1]. Precision measures how many pieces of recommended code are indeed related to an average bug report; recall measures how many pieces of code known relevant to a bug report have been recommended; and top-K measures how many out of the K recommended pieces of code are relevant to a bug report. However, existing research methods developed since Zhou et al. [2] are competing against a benchmark of only 4~6 medium-sized open-source Java projects mostly taken from Eclipse development. Although various information retrieval approaches have been attempted, and compared on top of this benchmark, there is a lot of uncertainty as to how they apply to Huawei’s contexts. In this project, we will tackle these challenges with practicability and adoptability in mind.

Drone Identity
RoleStart dateEnd dateFunding source
Lead01 Jul 201930 Jun 2020EC (European Commission): FP (inc. Horizon Europe, H2020, ERC)

This EngageKTN project is investigating forensic-readiness requirements of unmanned aerial systems, to help identify causes of safety and security related air traffic incidents. Unmanned aerial vehicles (or drones) are increasingly creating challenges for managing the safety of aircraft that share the airspace with them. The collection and use of forensic data associated with drones and surrounding physical contexts is key to effective incident investigations. The research is focusing on the architecture and concept of operations for European unmanned traffic management, and the ability to preserve such vital information as evidence for forensic investigations. The team of the project include Dr. Yijun Yu (PI), Mr. Danny Barthaud (Research Software Engineer), and Prof. Bashar Nuseibeh, Prof. Blaine Price, Prof. Andrea Zisman, Prof. Arosha Bandara at The Open University, and Dr. Anthony P. Rushton, Dr. David L. Bush, and Dr. George S. Koudis at NATS. The project URL is at https://droneidentity.eu.

Forensic 'Big Code' Analytics in Secure Software Engineering
RoleStart dateEnd dateFunding source
Lead06 Jun 201908 Sep 2022The Royal Society

The aim of this project is to collect forensic evidence from the "Big Code" that violate security requirements in the past and predict the risks of security incidents in the future. "Big code" consists of a variety of artefacts including security goals and requirements, software licenses with terms and conditions, bug reports and code patches at development time, and microservice logs at runtime. Apart from being large in quantity and high in diversity, the big code is also evolving continuously over time. Substantial human efforts have been spent on identifying forensic evidence from the big code, in order to identify computer-related frauds or other security-related incidents. Therefore, the project will focus on three objectives: 1) To identify forensic evidence from unstructured big code, mostly in natural languages, by selecting or extracting the relevant features in software artefacts; 2) To predict changes in structured big code, mostly in programming languages, by evaluating machine learning models against the precision/recall metrics about security-related incidents; 3) To maintain the predictability of forensic analytics continuously, during evolving software development, by updating the learning models incrementally according to the newly arrived big code.

SAUSE: Secure, Adaptive, Usable Software Engineering
RoleStart dateEnd dateFunding source
Co-investigator01 Apr 201831 Mar 2024EPSRC Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council

In the last decade, the role of software engineering has changed rapidly and radically. Globalisation and mobility of people and services, pervasive computing, and ubiquitous connectivity through the Internet have disrupted traditional software engineering boundaries and practices. People and services are no longer bound by physical locations. Computational devices are no longer bound to the devices that host them. Communication, in its broadest sense, is no longer bounded in time or place. The Software Engineering & Design (SEAD) group at the Open University (OU) is leading software engineering research in this new reality that requires a paradigm shift in the way software is developed and used. This platform grant will grow and sustain strategic, multi-disciplinary, crosscutting research activities that underpin the advances in software engineering required to build the pervasive and ubiquitous computing systems that will be tightly woven into the fabric of a complex and changing socio-technical world. In addition to sustaining and growing the SEAD group at the OU and supporting its continued collaboration with the Social Psychology research group at the University of Exeter, the SAUSE platform will also enable the group to have lasting impact across several application domains such as healthcare, aviation, policing, and sustainability. The grant will allow the team to enhance the existing partner networks in these areas and to develop impact pathways for their research, going beyond the scope and lifetime of individual research projects.
