Classification of tasks using machine learning
Bernd Bruegge, Joern David, Jonas Helming, Maximilian Koegel · 2009
Categorizing software engineering artifacts, tasks in our case, is often a prerequisite for analysis and research. As an example, categorizing tasks according to their activity allows for a post-mortem analysis of the life cycle model of a project and can be used as a foundation for software metrics. Many categorical attributes of software artifacts are often not entered correctly or are not entered at all. For example, we observed a significant number of obsolete tasks that were not categorized as such.
