Programming associations spend over 45% of cost in overseeing programming bugs. An unavoidable walk of modifying bugs is bug triage, which arrangements to precisely apportion a specialist to another bug. To reduce the time cost in manual work, content request techniques are associated with lead customized bug triage. In this paper, we address the issue of data extenuation for bug triage, i.e., ...

A software Bug report contains information about the bug in the form of problem description and comments using natural language texts. Managing reported bugs is a significant challenge for a project manager when the number of bugs for a software project is large. Prior to the assignment of a newly reported bug to an appropriate developer, the triager (e.g., manager) attempts to categorize it in...

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...

Software development settings provide a great opportunity for CSCW researchers to study collaborative work. In this paper, we explore a specific work practice called bug reproduction that is a part of the software bug-fixing process. Bug reproduction is a highly collaborative process by which software developers attempt to locally replicate the ‘environment’ within which a bug was originally en...

Software bugs reported by human users and automatic error reporting software are often stored in some bug tracking tools (e.g., Bugzilla and Debbugs). These accumulated bug reports may contain valuable information that could be used to improve the quality of the bug reporting, reduce the quality assurance effort and cost, analyze software reliability, and predict future bug report trend. In thi...

In this paper, we propose a semi-supervised text classification approach for bug triage to avoid the deficiency of labeled bug reports in existing supervised approaches. This new approach combines naive Bayes classifier and expectationmaximization to take advantage of both labeled and unlabeled bug reports. This approach trains a classifier with a fraction of labeled bug reports. Then the appro...

For a given software bug report, identifying an appropriate developer who could potentially fix the bug is the primary task of a bug triaging process. A bug title (summary) and a detailed description is present in most of the bug tracking systems. Automatic bug triaging algorithm can be formulated as a classification problem, which takes the bug title and description as the input, mapping it to...

Existing techniques allocate a bug fixing team using only previous fixed bug reports. Therefore, these techniques may lead to inactive team member allocation as well as fail to include new developers in the suggested list. A Team Allocation approach for ensuring bug assignment to both Existing and New developers (TAEN) is proposed, which uses expertise and recent activities of developers. TAEN ...

In the bug triage we have an unavoidable step of fixing the bugs which helps in correctly assigning a developer to a new bug. Text classification and binary classification techniques are applied to decrease the time cost in manual work and to enhance the working of automatic bug triage. We address the problem of data reduction and hence we combine the instance selection and the feature selectio...

Bug Triaging is a vital part of issue management systems. Bug triaging deals with assigning a developer the task of an incoming bug. This activity is error prone and time consuming if done manually. There is a need for automated support to accelerate this process. The current automated bug triaging systems exploits the text contents of the bug and the tossing relations among the developers. The...
