Abstract :

Duplicate bug report detection (DBRD) is an excellent problem in software triage systems like Bugzilla. It is vital to update the internal machine learning models of DBRD for real-world usage and continuous query of new bug reports. The training phase of machine learning algorithms is time-consumable and dependent on the volume of the training dataset. Instance-based learning (IbL) is a machine learning algorithm that reduces the number of samples in the training dataset to achieve fast learning for the incremental database. This research introduces a hybrid approach using clustering and straight forward sampling to improve the runtime and validation performance of DBRD. Two bug report datasets of Android and Mozilla Firefox are used to evaluate the proposed approach. The experimental evaluation shows acceptable results and improvement in both runtime and validation performance of DBRD versus traditional approach without IbL.
