{mai1315, chaikalis, achat} @ uom.edu.gr Version Control and Bug Tracking Systems are essential tools in contemporary software development methods and are widely employed by development teams for systematic source code revision tracking and effective bug management. By combining information provided from both tools, a maintainer could shed light to various qualitative and quantitative characteristics of software projects. BuCo Reporter is a Java application that mines source code and bug repositories and by combining these kinds of information provides useful reports that describe project history. BuCo also calculates several bug and source code metrics. Its novelty lies in its modular structure which allows for effortless extensibility. Moreover the framework that is provided is very easy to install, use and modify without requiring background knowledge.
