Abstract Software development projects receive many change requests each day and each report must be examined to decide how the request will be handled by the project. One decision that is frequently made is to which software developer to assign the change request. Efforts have been made toward semiautomating this decision, with most approaches using machine learning algorithms. However, using machine learning to create an assignment recommender is a complex process that must be tailored to each individual software development project. The Creation Assistant for Easy Assignment (CASEA) tool leverages a project member’s knowledge for creating an assignment recommender. This paper presents the results of a user study using CASEA. The user study shows that users with limited project knowledge can quickly create accurate bug report assignment recommenders.

متن کاملAssisting Bug Report Triage through Recommendation
A key collaborative hub for many software development projects is the issue tracking system, or bug repository. The use of a bug repository can improve the software development process in a number of ways including allowing developers who are geographically distributed to communicate about project development. However, reports added to the repository need to be triaged by a human, called the tr...
متن کاملBAHA: A Novel Approach to Automatic Bug Report Assignment with Topic Modeling and Heterogeneous Network Analysis∗
We propose an approach called Bug report assignment with topic modeling and heterogeneous network analysis (BAHA) to automatically assign bug reports to developers. Existing studies adopt social network analysis to characterize the collaboration of developers. The networks used in these studies are all homogenous. In real practice of bug resolution, different developers collaborate on different...
متن کاملImproving automatic bug assignment using time-metadata in term-weighting
Assigning newly reported bugs to project developers is a time-consuming and tedious task for triagers using the traditional manual bug triage process. Previous efforts for creating automatic bug assignment systems use machine learning and information-retrieval techniques. These approaches commonly use tf-idf, a statistical computation technique for weighting terms based on term frequency. Howev...
متن کاملKSAP: An approach to bug report assignment using KNN search and heterogeneous proximity
Context: Bug report assignment, namely, to assign new bug reports to developers for timely and effective bug resolution, is crucial for software quality assurance. However, with the increasing size of software system, it is difficult to assign bugs to appropriate developers for bug managers. Objective: This paper propose an approach, called KSAP (K-nearest-neighbor search and heterogeneous prox...
