Sažetak
Diverse research groups have identified that analyzing the bugs-to-code fix links may generate many interesting theories. However, this kind of datasets are usually not easily available from the software development projects. Usually, the bug tracking and the related code fix activities are divided into separate processes and use separated repositories thus complicating the linking of the data. Numerous techniques have been developed but we still lack the empirical data collected with standard data collection procedures. In this paper we examine the effectiveness of the bug linking techniques. In particular we evaluate the proposed technique based on the regular expressions and compare its effectiveness with other known bug linking techniques. Our case study shows that the proposed technique is equally effective as some other already proposed techniques in eliminating the linking bias we identified some differences that may have influence on the linking precision. However, the technique is not addressing data quality issues that may be present in software repositories.
