PROJECT SUMMARY Many open source software projects incorporate open bug repositories during development and maintenance so that both developers and users can report bugs that they have encountered, and call for more useful features or make suggestions for revision. Due to a project’s reliance on a large number of users acting as testers, this form of testing is asynchronous and loosely organized. Also, the cost of users’ searching the repository (to determine if their problem has been reported) is higher than the cost of creating a new bug report. As a result, some reported bugs are not new ones but actually duplicates of existing bugs. To avoid the same bug being addressed by multiple bug fixers, it is necessary for a triager to examine each submitted bug report to determine whether it is a duplicate. However, due to the large number of existing bug reports, it is challenging for the triager to examine all existing bug reports to detect duplication. This project is developing new techniques and tools to help detecting duplicate bug reports. PEOPLE Graduate Student
