Evaluation of Cross-Lingual Bug Localization: Two Industrial Cases
This study reports the results of applying the cross-lingual bug localization approach proposed by Xia et al. to industrial software projects. To realize cross-lingual bug localization, we applied machine translation to non-English descriptions in the source code and bug reports, unifying them into English-based texts, to which an existing English-based bug localization technique was applied. In addition, a prototype tool based on BugLocator was implemented and applied to two Japanese industrial projects, which resulted in a slightly different performance from that of Xia et al.
