Hello Cocoon contributors,
I am conducting a survey about the way bugs are handled in open source software projects. The survey includes questions that can be answered by developers,testers, bug fixers, project managers, and owners of defect databases. It is only and only for research purposes and it is very easy to fill out. It consists of three short sections which can be completed at once or in different sessions. Please fill it out if you haven't done yet. You will find the questions interesting since there is a reason behind each one one of them. They will make you think about how things work (or could work)in your project. The survey can be found in the address: http://www.seas.smu.edu/~gkoru/surveys/dhsurvey.html The data in the bug databases can be used to identify the high risk areas in the software development. One of the ways of doing it is constructing tree-based models, which could be very useful in open source projects. If you would like to read about it, I prepared a web page for you: http://www.seas.smu.edu/~gkoru/surveys/tbdm1.html Please accept my apologies if you receive duplicates of this e-mail. This is a survey, which will give useful results for all of us. I will try to prepare and make some preliminary results on-line within the next two weeks. Since this is a survey, covering many important open source projects, it will be interesting for everybody to see what kind of quality assurance work is going on in the other projects. As always, we are very dedicated to this research. Please contact me for any question you might have. Thank you, A.
