Abstract

As the number of desktop software and mobile apps is rapidly increasing, resolving bugs is a key task. Developers often examine bug reports (BRs) in software repositories to get hints for fixing the bugs. The quality of BRs is important. Pieter Hooimeijer and Westley Weimer created a descriptive model for the lifetime of a BR.
