Abstract

The analysis of bug databases reveals that some software components are far more failure-prone than others. Yet it is hard to find properties that are universally shared by failure-prone components. We have mined the Eclipse bug and version databases to map failures to Eclipse components. The resulting data set lists the defect density of all Eclipse components, and may thus help to find features that predict how defect-prone a component will be.
