Automatic query reformulations for feature location in a model-based family of software products

作者：

Highlights：

• The influence of query reformulation in feature location for models is evaluated.

• Similitude to a reformulated query guides a feature location evolutionary algorithm.

• Reformulation fails to boost the quality of the solution in models as it does in code.
