Abstract

In order to improve the accuracy of open source software bug localization, this paper proposed an open source software bug localization method based on twice propagation algorithm(TPA). It combined the restart random walk with the label propagation algorithm based on the information retrieval method. The specific location of the bug is analyzed from the three aspects: the call relationship, module risk and historical bug report of each module in the open source software. The bug localization is divided into two parts: risk propagation and label propagation. Through the similarity and calling relationship between the software modules, combined with the history of modified reports, it evaluated the module's risk. It constructed the bug label through the modified bug reports, and propagated the software label from it. In the Eclipse 3.1 bug report data set, the top-N rank and MRR indicators are higher than the similar bug location methods. Experiments show that the TPA method has higher accuracy.
