Abstract

Software repositories contain a wealth of information that can be analyzed for knowledge extraction. Software bug repositories are one such repository that stores the information about the defects identified during the development of software. Information available in software bug repositories like number of bugs priority-wise, component-wise, status-wise, developers-wise, module-wise, summary-terms-wise, can be visualized with the help of two- or three-dimensional graphs. These visualizations help in understanding the bug distribution patterns, software matrices related to the software bugs, and developer information in the bug-fixing process. Visualization techniques are exploited with the help of open source technologies in this chapter to visualize the bug distribution information available in the software bug repositories. Two-dimensional and three-dimensional graphs are generated using java-based open source APIs, namely Jzy3d (Java Easy 3d) and JFreeChart. Android software bug repository is selected for the experimental demonstrations of graphs. The textual bug attribute information is also visualized using frequencies of frequent terms present in it.
