What is the purpose of the matching threshold $m$ in Algorithm 1 of SemSeed?
What is the purpose of the matching threshold $m$ in Algorithm 1 of SemSeed?
- It determines the maximum allowed similarity between the seeding location and the bug-to-imitate.
- It determines the number of bug seeding patterns that will be applied.
- It determines the minimum required similarity between the seeding location and the bug-to-imitate. (correct)
- It has no impact on the bug seeding process.
What is the key difference between a semantics-aware and a semantics-unaware variant of SemSeed?
What is the key difference between a semantics-aware and a semantics-unaware variant of SemSeed?
- The semantics-unaware variant does not handle unbound tokens. (correct)
- The semantics-aware variant uses a different matching threshold $m.
- The semantics-aware variant creates more bug seeding patterns.
- The semantics-unaware variant reproduces more of the target bugs.
What does the blue curve in Figure 3 represent?
What does the blue curve in Figure 3 represent?
- The percentage of seeded bugs out of all bugs that a purely syntactic variant of SemSeed creates. (correct)
- The percentage of seeded bugs out of all bugs that a variant of SemSeed with a matching threshold of 1 creates.
- The percentage of seeded bugs out of all bugs that the semantics-unaware SemSeed creates.
- The percentage of seeded bugs out of all bugs that the semantics-aware SemSeed creates.
