Neglecting such structural elements is a loss of valuable information; structure usually leads to a better performance of machine learning approaches. In this paper, we present a tool called infoZilla that detects structural elements from bug reports with near perfect accuracy and allows us to extract them. We anticipate that infoZilla can be used to leverage data from bug reports at a different granularity level that can facilitate interesting research in the future.}, keywords = {bug reports, eclipse, enumerations, infozilla, natural language, patches, source code, stack trace}, isbn = {9781605580241}, doi = {10.1145/1370750.1370757}, attachments = {https://flosshub.org/sites/flosshub.org/files/p27-bettenburg.pdf}, author = {Premraj, Rahul and Zimmermann, Thomas and Kim, Sunghun and Bettenburg, Nicolas} }
