摘要:For widely-used and large software systems, there is huge number of daily submitted bug reports. These bug reports are mainly submitted by different developers with different roles during software development process. Therefore, understanding and monitoring the status of all submitted bug reports is not an easy task. Each bug report has various and different statuses over time. Furthermore, the relationship between bug reports and developers is complicated and hard to detect. In this paper, we propose a solution to help software project managers or bug trackers to understand the current and the previous statuses of large number of submitted bug reports. We propose a visualization approach to model the different statuses of bug reports and their relationships with developers who work on them. The visualization is based on extracting information from bug tracking systems and modeling them in comprehensive and meaningful views.
