When a new bug report is received, developers usually need to reproduce the bug and perform code reviews to find the cause, a process that can be tedious and time consuming. A tool for ranking all the source files with respect to how likely they are to contain the cause of the bug would enable developers to narrow down their search and improve productivity. This project introduces an adaptive r...

The bug prediction effectiveness reasonably contributes towards enhancing quality of software. Bug indicators contribute significantly in determining the bug prediction approaches and help in achieving software reliability. Various comparative research studies have indicated that Depth of Inheritance (DIT), Weighted Method per Class (WMC), Coupling between Objects (CBO) and Lines of Code (LoC) ...

Bug severity is the degree of impact that a defect has on the development or operation of a component or system, and can be classified into different levels based on their impact on the system. Identification of severity level can be useful for bug triager in allocating the bug to the concerned bug fixer. Various researchers have attempted text mining techniques in predicting the severity of bu...

It is often regarded as best-practice that the case the developer that writes a program, and the tester that tests the program, are different people. This supposedly allows unbiased testing. This separation is also motivated by economic reasons. As a result, the tester, especially in black-box testing, is oblivious to the underlying code. Thus, when a bug is found, the tester can only file a bu...

This is a fantasy poem about doctor and his adventures with piracy on the high seas.

Duplicate bug reports are often unfavorable because they tend to take many man hours for being identified as duplicates, marked so and eventually discarded. In this time, no progress occurs on the program in question, and is justifiably an overhead which should be minimized. Considerable research has been carried out to alleviate this problem. Many methods have been proposed for bug report cate...

As the scale and complexity of software products increase, software maintenance on bug resolution has become a challenging work. In the process of software implementation, developers often use bug reports, source code and change history to help solve bugs. However, hundreds of bug reports are being submitted every day. It is time-consuming and effortless for developers to review all the bug rep...

Bug prediction is a technique used to estimate the most bug-prone entities in software systems. Bug prediction approaches vary in many design options, such as dependent variables, independent variables, and machine learning models. Choosing the right combination of design options to build an e↵ective bug predictor is hard. Previous studies do not consider this complexity and draw conclusions ba...
