In software development, similar defects---problems with how the software being built behaves---tend to occur multiple times. Sometimes, it is a defect previously solved for one piece of software that re-occurs in a similar, but new, piece of software. Other times, it is a similar defect that occurs to one previously solved in the same piece of software. Software development projects store records of all defects in defect repositories. These repositories can be mined to learn what information is necessary to solve a defect and to recommend how defects that are similar to the one currently being handled have been solved in the past. The proposed research will extend existing efforts that have learned information from bug repositories by automatically identifying and abstracting concepts from existing defects and by using those concepts to enhance new defect reports and to cluster and find trends in defects that are being prioritized to be solved.

在软件开发中，类似的缺陷--正在构建的软件如何运行的问题--往往会出现多次。有时，它是以前为一个软件解决的缺陷，在一个类似的但新的软件中重新出现。其他时候，这是一个类似的缺陷，发生在一个以前解决了同一件软件。软件开发项目将所有缺陷的记录存储在缺陷存储库中。可以挖掘这些存储库，以了解解决缺陷所需的信息，并推荐过去如何解决与当前正在处理的缺陷类似的缺陷。拟议的研究将扩展现有的努力，从错误库中学习信息，自动识别和抽象概念，从现有的缺陷，并通过使用这些概念，以提高新的缺陷报告和集群，并找到趋势的缺陷，被优先解决。
