As fixing bugs is a large part of software development and maintenance, estimating the time to fix bugs -bug fixing time- is extremely useful when planning software projects. Therefore, in this study, we propose a way to estimate bug fixing time using bug reports. First, we classify previous bug reports with meta fields by applying a k-NN method. Next, we compute the similarity of the new bug and previous bugs by using data from bug reports. Finally, we estimate how long it will take to fix the new bug using the time it took to repair similar bugs. In this study, we perform experiments with open source software. The results of these experiments show that our approach effectively estimates the bug fixing time.

Nowadays, research and industry on the internet of things is rapidly developing. Bug fixed field of the Software development related internet of things is a very important things. In this study, we analyze the properties that can affect what the bug fix-time by analyzing the time required to fix a bug associated with the Internet of Things. Using the k-NN classification method based on the attribute information to be classified as bug reports. Extracts a bug report based on the results of a similar property. Bug fixed by calculating the time of a similar bug report predicts the fix-time for new bugs. Depending on the prediction of the properties that affect the bug correction time, the properties of os, component, reporter, and assignee showed the best prediction accuracy.

Recently, software size and program code complexity have increased due to application to various fields of software. Accordingly, the existence of program bugs inevitably occurs, and the cost of software maintenance is increasing. In open source projects, developers spend a lot of debugging time when solving a bug report assigned. To solve this problem, in this paper, we apply SeqGAN algorithm to software bug repair. In detail, the SeqGAN model is trained based on the source code. Open similar source codes during the learning process are also used. To evaluate the suitability for the generated candidate patch, a fitness function is applied, and if all test cases are passed, software bug correction is considered successful. To evaluate the efficiency of the proposed model, it was compared with the baseline, and the proposed model showed better repair.
