[Bibtex]@ARTICLE{CavalcantiSQJ2011, Author = {Yguarat{\~a} Cerqueira Cavalcanti and Paulo Anselmo da Mota Silveira Neto and Daniel Lucrédio and Tassio Vale and Eduardo Santana de Almeida and Silvio Romero de Lemos Meira}, Title = {The bug report duplication problem: an exploratory study}, Journal = {Software Quality Journal}, Publisher = {Springer Netherlands}, Issn = {0963-9314}, Keyword = {Computer Science}, Pages = {1-28}, Year = {2011}, Url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11219-011-9164-5}, doi = {10.1007/s11219-011-9164-5}, Abstract = {Duplicate bug report entries in bug trackers have a negative impact on software maintenance and evolution. This is due, among other factors, to the increased time spent on report analysis and validation, which in some cases takes over 20 min. Therefore, a considerable amount of time is lost in duplicate bug report analysis. In order to understand the possible factors that cause bug report duplication and its impact on software development, this paper presents an exploratory study in which bug tracking data from private and open source projects were analyzed. The results show, for example, that all projects we investigated had duplicate bug reports and a considerable amount of time was wasted by this duplication. Furthermore, features such as project lifetime, staff size, and the number of bug reports do not seem to be significant factors for duplication, while others, such as the submitters’ profile and the number of submitters, do seem to influence the bug report duplication.} }

Yet they are inevitable activities -- almost all software that is useful and successful stimulates user-generated requests for change and improvements. \citeauthor{Sommerville2007} is even more emphatic and says that software changes is a fact of life for large software systems. In addition, a set of studies has stated along the years that software maintenance and evolution is the most expensive phase of software development, taking up to 90\% of the total costs. All those characteristics from software maintenance lead the academia and industry to constantly investigate new solutions to reduce costs in such phase. In this context, Software Configuration Management (SCM) is a set of activities and standards for managing and evolving software; SCM defines how to record and process proposed system changes, how to relate these to system components, among other procedures. For all these tasks it has been proposed different tools, such as version control systems and bug trackers. However, some issues may arise due to these tools usage, such as the dynamic assignment of a developer to a bug report or the bug report duplication problem. In this sense, this dissertation investigates the problem of bug report duplication emerged by the use of bug trackers on software development projects. The problem of bug report duplication is characterized by the submission of two or more bug reports that describe the same software issue, and the main consequence of this problem is the overhead of rework when managing these bug reports.}, bdsk-url-1 = {http://yguarata.com/blog/?page_id=61}, date-added = {2010-07-30 14:51:13 -0300}, date-modified = {2010-07-30 14:51:13 -0300}, url = {http://yguarata.com/blog/m-sc-in-computing-science/} } - Y.
