Deep learning-based logging recommendation using merged code representation

Abstract

When developing a large scale software product, it is essential to share a common set of structural coding guidelines and standards among the project team members. In this paper, we propose MergeLogging, a deep learning-based merged network using various code representations for automated logging decisions or other tasks. MergeLogging archives the enhanced recommendation ability that utilizes orthogonal code features from code representations. Our case study with three open-source project datasets demonstrates that logging accuracy can reach as high as 93%.
