Abstract

Bug resolution in Open Source Software is an important aspect of Open Source Software management. Bug resolution involves reporting a bug, triaging a bug and solving a bug. The task of solving a bug is analogous to problem solving in a Resolution Network. The duty of the triager is to identify the member with correct expertise to solve the bug as well as to identify any other member to whom the bug has to be tossed when the member is unable to solve the bug. The member though, may not have solved the bug, but may have made a significant contribution towards solving it in terms of fixing its severity, making comments, fixing its component etc. Th e work done by that member needs to be preserved. In addition, automated support is needed to find the optimal set of developers who can collaborate on a given bug. The order in which the bug can be tossed among the set of developers needs to be established. The current techniques in Open Source Software Bug Triaging involves modeling the reassignment of bugs as a goal-oriented path model. A new framework with the additional capabilities is proposed. The proposed framework models the reassignment of bugs as Enriched Adaptive Bug Triaging System (EABTS) based on actual path model.
