About this episode

Your average software project is made up of a rich history of change events: project emails, bug reports, source code edits, and wiki page edits are common types of change events that occur frequently in software projects. Although each of these change events are independent, many events may be logically related. For example, an email in a project's mailing list archives may refer to a related bug report. Similarly, the content of a project's wiki page may be related to a snippet of source code from the version control repository. We present a system to automatically cluster related events into logical groupings. In addition, we present a visualization tool to help project stakeholders explore change events and the relationships between them in a software project history.Samira Abdi: samira at cs dot toronto dot eduJeremy Handcock: jeremy at cs dot toronto dot eduGreg Wilson: gvwilson at cs dot toronto dot eduUniversity of TorontoDepartment of Computer Science
