Bug Tracking and Reliability Assessment System (BTRAS)

چکیده
Tracking of a reported bug for fixing is a fascinating area of research in software engineering. Many open source, free and commercial bug tracking tools have been developed and are currently under development. The industry needs criteria to select the best tool among the available set of tools that will help in fixing and tracking the progress of bug fixes. In this paper, we use BugZilla, Jira, Trac, Mantis, BugTracker.Net, Gnats and Fossil for comparative study. We present a comprehensive classification criteria to review the available tools and propose a new tool named Bug Tracking and Reliability Assessment System (BTRAS) for the bug tracking/reporting and reliability assessment. BTRAS helps in reporting the bug, assigning the bug to the developer for fixing, monitoring the progress of bug fixing by various graphical/charting facility and status updates, providing reliability bug prediction and bug complexity measurements, and distributing fixes to users/developers.

BUGMINER: Software Reliability Analysis Via Data Mining of Bug Reports
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...

Open Source Software (OSS) products are widely used although a general consensus on their quality is far to be reached. Providing results on OSS reliability as quality indicator – contributes to shed some light on this issue and allows organizations to make informed decisions in adopting OSS products or in releasing their own OSS. In this paper, we use a classical technique of Software Reliabil...

Software bug databases provide an important source of data for assessing the reliability of a software. Statistical analysis of these databases has been a challenge due to lack of information on usage and reporting rates of the defects. This paper proposes a novel semi-parametric analysis that makes use of defect classifications into multiple types to enable estimation of a model without making...
