[Cooker] Bug handling survey - Tree based models

2002-10-09 Thread Gunes Koru


Hello Mandrake 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,

Dear Frederic and Maksim,

Thanks for bringing it up. As you might understand, I am in contact with 
many projects. It is not easy to invite the developers in KDE, Gnome, 
Apache, OpenOffice and all major projects. I trust your understanding. 
Some of you might need to hit delete key a couple of times. We apologize 
for that.

Related to SPAM issue, SPAM means unsolicited, uninvited mail which
usually has a commercial nature. The e-mail I sent is directed to increase
the quality just like any other e-mail sent to the lists. Another thing in
the SPAM is, it is unsolicited, not required. I will argue that if my
e-mail is not required than automatically none of the e-mails will be
required in this list. Just like any one, I am expressing useful ideas,
which has great potential impacts.  I think it is an important right for
everyone in this list. I think we need to respect each other's rights. 
Because once we remove this right, even indirectly, then there is nothing 
left.

I hope i could anwer your concerns. If you haven't done so, I invite you 
to participate in the survey. If you have further questions please 
to contact me individually.

Thanks for your support,

Regards,
