| Abstract | There are many roles to play in the bug fixing process in an open source software development. A developer called “Committer” who has permission to submit the patch into the software repository plays a major role in this process and holds a key to the success of the project. In this work, we have observed committers’ activities from the EclipsePlatform bug tracking system and version archives. Despite the importance of committer’s activities, we suspected that sometimes committers can make mistake, which have a negative consequence to the bug fixing process. Therefore, our research focused on studying the consequences of committers’ activities to this process. We collected committers’ history data and evaluated each of them by comparing the more cautious to less cautious committers. From our results, we would like to create a clear understanding on committers’ activities and their consequences on the bug fixing process in order to find a better way to improve the bug fixing process in OSS projects. |
