Computer Science

Bug triage is an essential task in the software maintenance phase. It is the process of assigning a developer (fixer) to bug report. Triaging process is performed by the triager, who has to analyze developers’ profiles and bug reports for the purpose of making a suitable assignment. Manual assignment consumes time, financial resources and human resources; to get a high-quality software with minimum cost, automating this process is necessary. Previous researchers tackled this problem as a classification problem from different perspectives, either information retrieval approach or machine learning algorithms, some researchers handled it as an optimization problem using optimization and …
