Investigating Reproducibility in Deep Learning-Based Software Fault Prediction

Over the past few years, deep learning methods have been applied for a wide range of Software Engineering (SE) tasks, including in particular for the important task of automatically predicting and localizing faults in software. With the rapid adoption of increasingly complex machine learning models, it however becomes more and more difficult for scholars to reproduce the results that are reported in the literature. This is in particular the case when the applied deep learning models and the evaluation methodology …
