Abstract

High reliability is an essential factor of modern software. At the same time, as software complexity is increasing day by day, bug counts and rate inevitably rises, leading to undermine software reliability. To avoid this problem, programmers always use issue-finding tools (bug detection) to discover the defects from source code in development of software. Recently, software inspection has been shown to be an effective way to speed up the process of source code verification and to move a portion of discovered defects from test to coding phase. As we know, modern software is often developed over many years. During this time, the commit metadata is becoming an important source of social characteristics. In this paper, our aim is to devise an empirical method to assess the percentage and the types of the issues found by issue finding tools are actual defects of the software.
