Bug Driven Bug Finders

We describe a method of creating tools to find bugs in software that is driven by the analysis of previously fixed bugs. We present a study of bug databases and software repositories that characterize commonly occurring types of bugs. Based on the types of bugs that were commonly reported and fixed in the code, we determine what types of bug finding tools should be developed. We have implemente...

A Solution to View Management to Build a Data Warehouse

Several techniques exist to select and materialize a proper set of data in a suitable structure that manage the queries submitted to the online analytical processing systems. These techniques are called view management techniques, which consist of three research areas: 1) view selection to materialize, 2) query processing and rewriting using the materialized views, and 3) maintaining materializ...

Tracing Bug-Fixing and Bug-Seeding Committers

The process of fixing software bugs plays a key role in the maintenance activities of a software project. Ideally, code ownership and responsibility should be enforced among developers working on the same artifacts, so that those introducing buggy code could also contribute to its fix. However, especially in FLOSS projects, this mechanism is not clearly understood: in particular, it is not know...
