A Framework of Bug Reporting System Based on Keywords Extraction and Auction Algorithm

Abstract

Bug report is becoming a main approach to improve and perfect a complicated piece of software, but analyzing the bug report is a tedious and time-consuming job, especially when the number of bug reports is huge and many duplicate reports are mixed within the incoming bug reports. In this paper, we present a framework to automatically triage and detect the duplicate bug reports by keywords extraction and combine those existing relative reports to form a more integrated and complete bug report, and then assign the report to appropriate developer based on auction rules and developer’s experiences. After having fixed the bug, the developer can submit some new keywords related to the fixed bug to the system, in which we can complement the keywords repository.
