    Abstract:

    Bug triaging is the process of assigning bug reports to developers suitable for resolving the reported bugs, ensuring timely fixes. Current research in bug triaging mainly focuses on the text classification of bug reports. However, according to the Pareto principle, the data distribution of bug reports used for classification is unbalanced, which may lead to ineffective triaging for inactive developers. Additionally, existing classification models often neglect to model developers and struggle to capture the correlations between bugs and developers, affecting the efficiency of bug triaging. To address these issues, this study proposes a collaborative bug triaging method based on multimodal fusion (CBT-MF). This method first preprocesses bug reports and constructs a bug-developer bipartite graph. To mitigate the impact of the unbalanced distribution of bug fix records, the bipartite graph data is enhanced using K-means clustering and positive-negative sampling. To represent developer information, node features are extracted from the bipartite graph using a graph convolutional network model. Finally, correlations between bugs and developers are captured by matching inner products, and Bayesian personalized ranking (BPR) is utilized for bug report recommendation and triaging. Comprehensive experiments conducted on publicly available datasets demonstrate that CBT-MF outperforms several state-of-the-art methods in bug triaging.
