Analysis of Open Source Software Development Iterations by Means of Burst Detection Techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
A highly efficient bug fixing process and quick release cycles are considered key properties of the open source software development methodology. In this paper, we study the relation between code activities (such as lines of code added per commit), bug fixing activities, and software release dates in a subset of open source projects. To study the phenomenon, we gathered a large data set about the evolution of 5 major open source projects. We compared activities by means of a burst detection technique to discover temporal peaks in time-series. We found quick adaptation of issue tracking activities in proximity of releases, and a distribution of coding activities across releases. Results show the importance of the application type/domain for the evaluation of the development process.

An Improved K-Means with Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm for Clustering Crimes
Crime detection is one of the major issues in the field of criminology. In fact, criminology includes knowing the details of a crime and its intangible relations with the offender. In spite of the enormous amount of data on offenses and offenders, and the complex and intangible semantic relationships between this information, criminology has become one of the most important areas in the field o...

Single-molecule Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (smFRET) allows probing intermolecular interactions and conformational changes in biomacromolecules, and represents an invaluable tool in studying cellular processes at the molecular scale [21]. smFRET experiments can detect the distance between two fluorescent labels (donor and acceptor) in the 3-10 nm range. In the commonly employed confocal g...
متن کاملA K-Means Based Clustering Approach for Finding Faulty Modules in Open Source Software Systems
Prediction of fault-prone modules provides one way to support software quality engineering. Clustering is used to determine the intrinsic grouping in a set of unlabeled data. Among various clustering techniques available in literature K-Means clustering approach is most widely being used. This paper introduces K-Means based Clustering approach for software finding the fault proneness of the Obj...
متن کاملVulnerability Detection in Open Source Software: The Cure and the Cause
According to Veracode, a Gartner-recognised leader in application security, 44% of applications contain critical vulnerabilities in an open source component [16]. Most companies do not have a reliable way of being notified when zero-day vulnerabilities are found, or when patches are made available. This means that attack vectors in Open Source Software (OSS) exist longer than they should. This ...
متن کاملAspect-Oriented Reengineering of an Object-oriented Library in a Short Iteration Agile Process
Aspect-oriented reengineering aims to modularize crosscutting concerns in an existing system using a new abstraction called an aspect. Code concerns may be tangled and scattered throughout an existing code base thus hampering maintenance. This paper describes the reengineering of an object-oriented software library called GEF using aspect-oriented techniques as an integral activity in an agile ...
