A Bug Triage and Localization Technique based on Bug Reports Classification
نویسنده
چکیده
With a great number of software products that have been developed, bug fixing is difficult due to a large number of submitted bug reports each day. Sometimes developers usually describe the same errors in the different bug reports, these bug reports are called duplicate bug reports, the increasing number of duplicates lead to a large amount of time and effort for identifying and analyzing bug reports. In addition, recommending appropriate developers to fix bugs (bug triage) and finding the locations of bugs in the source code files (bug localization) have become the primary problems in software maintenance. However, a sizeable number of reassignments and manual bug localization lead to increased time for fixing bugs. In order to resolve these problems, in this paper, I propose a novel method for executing bug triage and localization based on bug reports classification. The experimental results on two large-scale open source projects including JBoss and Eclipse show that the method can effectively classify bug reports to carry out bug triage and localization.

Automatic Bug Triage using Semi-Supervised Text Classification
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...
متن کاملAutomatic bug triage using text categorization
Bug triage, deciding what to do with an incoming bug report, is taking up increasing amount of developer resources in large open-source projects. In this paper, we propose to apply machine learning techniques to assist in bug triage by using text categorization to predict the developer that should work on the bug based on the bug’s description. We demonstrate our approach on a collection of 15,...
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...

Most of the software companies need to deal with vast number of software bugs day to day. This paper can be viewed as an application of instance selection and feature selection in bug repositories. The aim is to address the problem of data reduction for bug triage, and to reduce the scale and improve the quality of bug data. This can be achieved by combining instance selection with feature sele...
