Abstract

There can be thousands of software defects found during testing and submitted into a bug-tracking system. This paper intends to reveal the importance of distinguishing different areas of testing in order to be able to perform further meaningful manipulations with defects, compute various metrics, classify or cluster bugs. An area of testing is made up of a group of software components. The Component/s field in a bug tracking system usually contains information as to what area the defect belongs to. However, sometimes the field can be empty or does not include all the necessary elements. Moreover, every defect belongs to one or several areas, that is why the classes can overlap within the classification. Therefore it becomes necessary to use the Summary field, which has brief information about the defect. Both fields have text format and require natural language processing. This paper introduces some techniques to classify defect reports according to areas of testing, using the data of two text fields and natural language processing methods and tools.
