Abstract

Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to determine refined context for bug detection. At least one non-transitory machine-readable medium includes instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor to at least classify a node on a graph, the graph to represent a computer program, the node to contain partial bug context corresponding to the computer program; identify a location of a software bug in the computer program, the location based on the node; determine a static bug context of the software bug using the location of the software bug; determine a dynamic bug context of the software bug using the location of the software bug; and determine a refined bug context based on a merge of the static bug context and the dynamic bug context.
