Predicting Bug Estimation Time for Newly Reported Bug Using Machine Learning Algorithms

In commercial projects, number of defects raised directly depends upon the releases. In order to get the idea of progress of the project it is necessary to estimate the average time required to fix the bug. This time is referred as bug estimation time. It is essential to estimate the time of software bug for a proper project planning. In this paper, a new algorithm is proposed to determine bug estimation time with the help of machine learning algorithms. New developer is predicted and its average bug estimation time is calculated based on the bug estimation time of already existing developer. A comparative study for accuracy for different machine learning algorithms is carried out.
