Bug localization is a technique that has been proposed to support the process of identifying the locations of bugs specified in a bug report. A traditional approach such as information retrieval (IR)-based bug localization calculates the similarity between the bug description and the source code and suggests locations that are likely to contain the bug. However, while many approaches have been proposed to improve the accuracy, the likelihood of each module having a bug is often overlooked or they are treated equally, whereas this may not be the case. For example, modules having code smells have been found to be more prone to changes and faults. Therefore, in this paper, we explore a first step toward leveraging code smells to improve bug localization. By combining the code smell severity with the textual similarity from IR-based bug localization, we can identify the modules that are not only similar to the bug description but also have a higher likelihood of containing bugs. Our preliminary evaluation on four open source projects shows that our technique can improve the baseline approach by 142.25% and 30.50% on average for method and class levels, respectively.
