Automatic dependent bug reports assembly for bug tracking systems by threshold-based similarity

<p>Bug reports contain essential information for fixing problems that occur in software. Many studies have proposed methods for automatic analysis of bug reports. One such task could affect the completion of software bug fixing, known as “bug dependency”. Although this problem was mentioned by many researches, most of them discussed about the related bugs but not really dealt with dependency issue in bug reports. One possible solution used for addressing this issue is to assemble all relevant/dependent bug reports together before analysis of the next processing stages. This study presents a method of assembling dependent bug reports. The main mechanism is called “threshold-based similarity analysis”, and the three similarity techniques of cosine similarity (CS) multi aspect TF (MATF), and BM25 are compared with feedback, precision and likelihood value. As the BM25 with the threshold as 0.5 gives the best results, it was used to compare with the state of the art method. The results show that our method increases precision and likelihood values by 12% and 12.4% respectively. Therefore, our results can be used to encourage developers to recognize all dependent bugs in the same problem domain.</p>

Model Architecture for Subversion Software Repositories System

In the development cycle of any software, software evolution plays an important role. Software Evolution is essential and challenges characteristics in the field of software engineering. Many research studies have concluded that 60-80% of efforts are spent on the evolution and maintenance of the software. Software repositories, for example, version control and bug tracking systems, are vital fragments of numerous software maintenance activities. The version control system is an incremental version tracking system, introduced to avoid unnecessary overwriting of files such as programming code, web pages, and records. It also helps to decrease the confusion affected by duplicate or outdated data. In this proposed research, the SVN repository was maintained and analyzed for msitone.wikispaces.com to minimize the efforts as well as resources for future users. Two semesters' data was taken as the observations for the analysis. The obtained archives were implemented and deployed for postulating the local archives to the online server via the Visual SVN server, allowing remote users to access a repository.The tortoise SVN tool is used as an SVN client to access the repository of Wiki spaces. Analyses were observed with and without implementing the SVN repository. The result shows that implementing the SVN repositories is helpful for the maintenance of the Wiki spaces. It also reduces the cost, time and efforts for their evolution. Whereas without implementing the SVN repositories, Wikis paces were just supposed to be building the house byputting each brick from the start.
