in*Bug: Visual analytics of bug repositories
Tommaso Dal Sasso, Michele Lanza · 2014
Bug tracking systems are used to track and store the defects reported during the life of software projects. The underlying repositories represent a valuable source of information used for example for defect prediction and program comprehension. However, bug tracking systems present the actual bugs essentially in textual form, which is not only cumbersome to navigate, but also hinders the understanding of the intricate pieces of information that revolve around software bugs. We present in∗Bug, a web-based visual analytics platform to navigate and inspect bug repositories. in∗Bug provides several interactive views to understand detailed information about the bugs and the people that report them.
