Abstract

V originále

Predicting the severity of bugs has been found in past research to improve triaging and the bug resolution process. For this reason, many classification/prediction approaches emerged over the years to provide an automated reasoning over severity classes. In this paper, we use text mining together with bi-grams and feature selection to improve the classification of bugs in severe/non-severe classes. We adopt the Naive Bayes (NB) classifier considering Mozilla and Eclipse datasets commonly used in related works. Overall, the results show that the application of bi-grams can improve slightly the performance of the classifier, but feature selection can be more effective to determine the most informative terms and bi-grams. The results are in any case project-dependent, as in some cases the addition of bi-grams may worsen the performance.
