Duplicate Detection

Identifying which new bug reports are duplicates of previous reports is one task a bug triager performs. This can be a daunting task in large projects where there are thousands of reports to search through. We use the approach of event detection systems from Topic Detection and Tracking (TDT) research that identify whether a news story describes a new, previously unseen event or a old news event. A tool has been implemented which indicates if a new report is unique or a duplicate. If the report is believed to be a duplicate, the tool suggests which previous reports might be duplicates.

We have developed an approach to suggest to a triager possible duplicates of a new report. Our approach is similar to the techniques used by event detection systems from Topic Detection and Tracking (TDT) research that identify whether a news story describes a new, previously unseen event or a old news event.

We are currently conducting a study to determine how beneficial the duplicate detection tool is for bug triagers. We are looking at what effects the tool would

 have on a triager's duplicate detection accuracy and their workload.

Future plans include implementing the tool as a Firefox extension.
