Are Donation Badges Appealing? A Case Study of Developer Responses to Eclipse Bug Reports
نویسندگان
چکیده
Eclipse, an open source software project, acknowledges its donors by presenting donation badges in its issue tracking system Bugzilla. However, the rewarding effect of this strategy is currently unknown. We applied a framework of causal inference to investigate relative promptness of developer response to bug reports with donation badges compared with bug reports without the badges, and estimated that donation badges decrease developer response time by about two hours in median. The appearance of donation badges is appealing for both donors and organizers because of its practical, rewarding and inexpensive effect.

متن کاملAnalysis of Bug Triage using Data Preprocessing (Reduction) Techniques
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...

متن کاملDual analysis for recommending developers to resolve bugs
Bug resolution refers to the activity that developers perform to diagnose, fix, test, and document bugs during software development and maintenance. Given a bug report, we would like to recommend the set of bug resolvers that could potentially contribute their knowledge to fix it. We refer to this problem as developer recommendation for bug resolution. In this paper, we propose a new and accura...
