Abstract :
Recommendation systems for software engineering (RSSEs) are tools that help developers and managers to better cope with the huge amount of information faced in today´s software projects. They provide developers with information to guide them in a number of activities (e.g., software navigation, debugging, refactoring), or to alert them of potential issues (e.g., conflicting changes, failure-inducing changes, duplicated functionality). Similarly, they provide managers with information that is relevant to make a certain decision (e.g., bug distribution when allocating resources).
