Treating bug localization as maximizing similarity while minimizing the number of suggested faulty files, ranked at class level, SPEA-2 across six open-source Java projects beat NSGA-II, MOEA/D and single-objective baselines, identifying the buggy class or file for 88.5% of reports in the top 10 and 94% in the top 20. It also transferred to an industrial Kotlin Android project, which is the portability claim most prior work fails. (arXiv 2608.27089)
