Duplicate Bug Report Detection and Classification System Based on Deep Learning Technique
Duplicate bug report detection is a process of finding a duplicate bug report in the bug tracking system. This process is essential to avoid unnecessary work and rediscovery. In typical bug tracking systems, more than thousands of duplicate bug reports are reported every day. In turn, human cost, ef...

Duplicate bug report detection is a process of finding a duplicate bug report in the bug tracking system. This process is essential to avoid unnecessary work and rediscovery. In typical bug tracking systems, more than thousands of duplicate bug reports are reported every day. In turn, human cost, effort and time are increased.

The solution is to automate the duplicate bug report detection system for reducing the manual effort, thus the productivity of triager's and developer's is increased. It also speeds up the process of software management as a result software maintenance cost is also reduced.
