Abstract

Modern software, especially web-based software, is broadly used in various fields. Most web applications employ design patterns, such as a model-view-controller (MVC) pattern and a factory pattern as development technology, so the application can have a good architecture to facilitate maintenance and productivity. A web application, however, may have defects and developers must fix the defects when a user submits bug reports. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to improving fault traceability in web application by using software revision information and software behavior model to reduce costs and effectively handle the software defect. We also provide a case study to show effectiveness of our approach.
