About this paper

Katharina Stengg, Christian Macho, Martin Pinzger

The authors present katIA, combining static analysis and language-model reasoning to identify entities impacted by bug fixes. Static analysis builds candidates; a model refines them using bug reports and change details, while katIA-MA divides the work among three agents. On 263 Java commits, katIA-MA improves F1 over katIA-SP, but misses many impacts and the agents’ contribution is unestablished.
