摘要:Summarization of software artifacts is an ongoing field of research among the software engineeringcommunity due to the benefits that summarization provides like saving of time and efforts in varioussoftware engineering tasks like code search, duplicate bug reports detection, traceability link recovery, etc.Summarization is to produce short and concise summaries. The paper presents the review of the state of theart of summarization techniques in software engineering context. The paper gives a brief overview to thesoftware artifacts which are mostly used for summarization or have benefits from summarization. Thepaper briefly describes the general process of summarization. The paper reviews the papers published from2010 to June 2017 and classifies the works into extractive and abstractive summarization. The paper alsoreviews the evaluation techniques used for summarizing software artifacts. The paper discusses the openproblems and challenges in this field of research. The paper also discusses the future scopes in this area fornew researchers.
