• Abstract summary: This paper presents Tango, a duplicate detection technique that operates purely on video-based bug reports. We evaluate multiple configurations of Tango in a comprehensive empirical evaluation on 4,860 duplicate detection tasks. On average, Tango can reduce developer effort by over 60%, illustrating its practicality.

• Abstract: When a bug manifests in a user-facing application, it is likely to be exposed through the graphical user interface (GUI). Given the importance of visual information to the process of identifying and understanding such bugs, users are increasingly making use of screenshots and screen-recordings as a means to report issues to developers. However, when such information is reported en masse, such as during crowd-sourced testing, managing these artifacts can be a time-consuming process. As the reporting of screen-recordings in particular becomes more popular, developers are likely to face challenges related to manually identifying videos that depict duplicate bugs. Due to their graphical nature, screen-recordings present challenges for automated analysis that preclude the use of current duplicate bug report detection techniques. To overcome these challenges and aid developers in this task, this paper presents Tango, a duplicate detection technique that operates purely on video-based bug reports by leveraging both visual and textual information. Tango combines tailored computer vision techniques, optical character recognition, and text retrieval. We evaluated multiple configurations of Tango in a comprehensive empirical evaluation on 4,860 duplicate detection tasks that involved a total of 180 screen-recordings from six Android apps. Additionally, we conducted a user study investigating the effort required for developers to manually detect duplicate video-based bug reports and compared this to the effort required to use Tango. The results reveal that Tango's optimal configuration is highly effective at detecting duplicate video-based bug reports, accurately ranking target duplicate videos in the top-2 returned results in 83% of the tasks. Additionally, our user study shows that, on average, Tango can reduce developer effort by over 60%, illustrating its practicality.

  Video-based bug reports are increasingly being used to document bugs for programs centered around a graphical user interface (GUI) We introduce a new approach, called JANUS, that adapts the scene-learning capabilities of vision transformers to capture subtle visual and textual patterns that manifest on app UI screens. Janus also makes use of a video alignment technique capable of adaptive weighting of video frames to account for typical bug manifestation patterns.

  VANE-Bench is a benchmark designed to assess the proficiency of Video-LMMs in detecting anomalies and inconsistencies in videos. Our dataset comprises an array of videos synthetically generated using existing state-of-the-art text-to-video generation models. We evaluate nine existing Video-LMMs, both open and closed sources, on this benchmarking task and find that most of the models encounter difficulties in effectively identifying the subtle anomalies.

  We study self-supervised video representation learning, which is a challenging task due to 1) a lack of labels for explicit supervision and 2) unstructured and noisy visual information. Existing methods mainly use contrastive loss with video clips as the instances and learn visual representation by discriminating instances from each other. In this paper, we observe that the consistency between positive samples is the key to learn robust video representations.

  Duplicate bugs rate (% of duplicate bugs) are in the range from single digit (1 to 9%) to double digits (40%) based on the product maturity, size of the code and number of engineers working on the project. Detecting duplicity deals with identifying whether any two bugs convey the same meaning. This approach considers multiple sets of features viz. basic text statistical features, semantic features and contextual features.
