Abstract

The article discusses the use of Stack Overflow comment-edit pairs to recommend code maintenance changes, presenting a new data source for building code maintenance data sets. It introduces an automated approach to match comments to edits and evaluates the precision and usefulness of these pairs. The study also investigates the types of changes that occur in these pairs and their potential applications in software engineering, highlighting the benefits of using Stack Overflow data for code maintenance tasks.
