<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif;color:black">Software quality attributes, such as reliability, security, and usability, are often well-defined and understood at<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif;color:black">the requirement level. They lay the ground foundation necessary to achieve high-quality, robust, user-friendly,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif;color:black">and trustworthy software systems. However, when addressing these attributes at the code level, two significant<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif;color:black">challenges emerge. First, they tend to scatter across the codebase due to improper encapsulation of objectoriented<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif;color:black">classes, hampering the visibility of quality-related components across the codebase. Second, they<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif;color:black">become tangled within a single module due to intricate interdependencies with functional aspects of the code.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif;color:black">Addressing quality concerns in the presence of scattered and tangled code can lead to unforeseen issues. For<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif;color:black">example, software developers may inadvertently introduce new and latent bugs or incorrectly implement code<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif;color:black">components deviating from the original system-wide requirements. To tackle these pressing issues, my research<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif;color:black">including static program analysis techniques to automatically and effectively detect, repair, and untangle quality<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif;color:black">concerns present at the code level.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif;color:black">In this talk, I will discuss two recent projects on this topic. First, I will introduce a multi-layered framework<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif;color:black">that combines Machine Learning, Information Retrieval, and Natural Language Processing that automatically<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif;color:black">detects several intertangled quality-related issues present in bug report code descriptions. Next, I will present a<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif;color:black">context-aware bug fixing framework that can cluster scattered quality concerns into a meaningful hierarchy,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
