Abstract

Background

Due to the characteristics of the maintenance process followed in open source systems, developers are usually overwhelmed with a great amount of bugs. For instance, in 2012, approximately 7,600 bugs/month were reported for Mozilla systems. Improving developers productivity in this context is a challenging task. In this paper, we describe and evaluate the new version of NextBug, a tool for recommending similar bugs in open source systems. NextBug is implemented as a Bugzilla plug-in and it was design to help maintainers to select the next bug he/she would fix.;
