Detecting duplicate bug reports with software engineering domain knowledge

In previous work by Alipour et al., a methodology was proposed for detecting duplicate bug reports by comparing the textual content of bug reports to subject-specific contextual material, namely lists of software-engineering terms, such as non-functional requirements and architecture keywords. When a bug report contains a word in these word-list contexts, the bug report is considered to be associated with that context and this information tends to improve bug-deduplication methods. In this paper, we propose a method to partially automate the extraction of contextual word lists from software-engineering literature. Evaluating this software-literature context method on real-world bug reports produces useful results that indicate this semi-automated method has the potential to substantially decrease the manual effort used in contextual bug deduplication while suffering only a minor loss in accuracy.
