Abstract
Understanding how software developers' erroneous tendency changes across time has significant implications for building fault-proneness prediction models and guiding software evolution testing. This paper initiates the investigation on software developers' bug-introducing tendency through an exploratory analysis. Five metrics are proposed to capture software developers' bug-introducing tendency and its correlated factors. A total of 76 software developers, working in four widely used software programs from GitHub, have been analyzed. The initial findings are presented.
